Anyone tried out Anthouse.es? Having to move my colony

I have ordered from this site before, albeit indirectly through Amazon.

 

Ordered from them again because my aquarium formicarium isn't working out so well.

 

Getting a 20x10x10 formicarium with a cork vertical nesting area, a foraging box and tubing for it.

Is this place reliable? They seem to have a good selection and ship to where I live but there's not an awful lot of information about the products.

I have no idea how big the holes on the side are for connecting other formicariums because it doesn't say...

 

Is this site reliable?

There aren't many that ship to the UK without crazy shipping prices. One site had a United Kingdom shipping option but literally only shipped to England and one part of Scotland(not where I live of course)

 

 

 

As for the aquarium. It's a great size but I can't get a secure lid for it...

Currently I have some wire mesh taped to it with a hole in the middle and some acetate taped over that.

Before mesh was over the hole but there were a few escapees, it seems fine now but wow it looks silly :lol:

I really enjoyed the anthouse.es website, and especially the variety of "acrylic" products.  They won't ship to the U.S., so I can't speak for the quality of their products.

 

Good luck!

Yeah the formicarium I got before was good just small and the ants I received were in good health but I didn't order from the actual website so it's a bit confusing since it's not English based.

 

It's a good selection compared to most but they need to add a bit more detail I think.
