Our Ant-Keeping Philosophy & Development
At the core of our shop is a philosophy of care and research. Every formicarium, test tube, outworld or gadget that we make starts with our own experience, be it mistakes or success stories. While raising our queens into colonies, we observe their needs, and the challenges we face ourselves, such spark ideas, questions and experiments that, in turn, develop into features and solutions built into our equipment. Ant-keeping is a very rewarding hobby, one that requires lots of patience and knowledge, but more importantly, a refined sensitivity and intuition to accurately provide for the needs of pet ants.
When possible, we team up with other keepers to ethically source queen ants endemic to Canada, we care for them until they are ready for their next keeper. The same hands that feed and monitor our ants are the ones crafting the habitats we send to you, so every shipment carries the care of a working ant room.
Our Spider Keeping & Breeding Journey
In a very similar way to our ants, our journey starts in our spider nursery. It's where we raise and breed many of our spiders, from little slings to adults. We test and refine every enclosure or accessory design through the lessons learned from caring for hundreds of baby spiders that emerge from a sac (and trust me, that's quite a few!), ensuring all of them survive with as few casualties as possible is a huge challenge; from having no escapes, proper ventilation and hydration to proper diet. Our enclosures are built to serve them while making care easy. We make the habitats you receive one by one, with passion and detail, making each piece unique.
Our breeding program raises healthy cute jumping spiders that make their way to homes across Canada. We also have some awesome tarantulas and isopods as our shop pets.
FYI, we photographed 99% of all the images you see here.
