Welcome to Queen Ant Shop

This website is for those of us who love to keep ants!

What do I sell?

I sell a range of ant colonies that include a mated queen ant/s, and a range of formicariums to house them in as well as foraging arenas, food, substrates and accessories to help you look after your ants.

Why buy a queen ant?

Without a queen ant no new workers will be produced. A queen ant can live for more than 10 years so you can watch and observe these amazing creatures as the colony grows in size over time.

Why buy a formicarium?

I sell a range of formicariums (glass & Ytong). Formicariums are for people who wish to keep a queen ant and therefore over time raise a large colony to observe.

Glass formicariums allow you to watch ants digging behaviour.

My Ytong formicariums are handmade so each one is unique. Every tunnel and chamber has been hand carved.

Ytong formicariums do not allow you to watch ants digging behaviour. However they have many advantages over traditional formicariums.

They are made out of a material called aerated autoclaved concrete (Ytong). This material is ideal for keeping ants.

It's light, mold resistant, absorbs water quickly and has thermal insulation properties. Ytong formicariums also give you excellent observation of your ants.

More products to help you look after your ants will be available here in the future.

Many thanks
