being a catcher/supplier of live ants
Qualities in a catcher/breeder
Here at The Ant Lab we are looking to partner ourselves with other ant keepers/collectors with the same values and drive for the hobby.
We seek to be able to provide and revitalise the domestic Australian ant keeping market.
How?
By supplying the widest range of native ants at the lowest prices!
Domestic Sales of Live Ants - Zero exports
We are part of "team native", this means we will never export our wonderful native ants and absolutely never import ants from overseas.
Not only is the postage overseas unethical with high death rates, but it also puts other country's ecosystems at risk. Similar to how we now have almost unstoppable invasive species that are decimating entire regions.
By supporting us you will help keep Australia safe and not exploit our native wildlife for unethical monetary gains.
Competitive prices and redeemable rewards
We want to work alongside our catchers to help supply us with as many species from all over the continent.
And we want to establish working relationships with each of you.
We understand nothing annoys a catcher like a 1000% mark up on an ant you sold to another store.
We also want you to come back to us first each time you catch a bounty of queens.
