This Ant Farm Coconut Substrate Layer CocoTerra is essential for Asian (exotic) ant species.

UK Live Arrival Guarantee

Every queen is checked and fed by hand before dispatch. Best Ants UK guarantees your queen ant arrives alive.

If she does not, we replace her — no argument, no restocking fee.

Live colonies are dispatched Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. This is deliberate: ants are never held in a depot over a weekend. Orders placed outside those days go out on the next dispatch day, packed the same morning they travel.

Bred in-house in Surrey since 1997. Shipped Royal Mail Tracked, mainland UK. Free delivery over £99.

Queen ants are living animals. We only dispatch colonies we would keep ourselves.

We are here because of you. Thank you.
