Beginner

If this is your first formicarium, start with one of these species: they are hardy, forgive small mistakes and grow at a good pace. They include the harvesters Messor barbarus and Messor ibericus, many Camponotus (C. nicobarensis, C. maculatus, C. cruentatus…), Polyrhachis dives and Tetramorium semilaeve.

Each product page explains temperature, humidity, feeding and whether hibernation is needed. If you have questions, we advise you before and after your purchase. Once you gain experience, move on to the advanced species.
