General

Do you sell live ants?

No. Pherora does not sell or ship live ants. We make ant-keeping setups, habitats, and accessories.

Do I need experience keeping ants before buying from Pherora?

No. Our products are made to be approachable, even for newer ant keepers. That said, ants are still living animals, so it is always worth learning about the species you are keeping.

What do I need to start keeping ants?

Most new colonies start in a test tube setup. A test tube gives the queen water, security, and a small space to raise her first workers. As the colony grows, you can add a nest, outworld, tubing, and other accessories.

What should I feed my ants?

Most colonies need sugar and protein. Sugar can come from sugar water, honey water, or small pieces of fruit. Protein can come from feeder insects, cooked chicken, or other safe protein sources.

Can I use your products for any ant species?

Not every ant species has the same needs. Size, humidity, growth rate, and escape ability all matter. Make sure the product you choose fits the colony you are keeping.
