When Should I Order Ants For Christmas?

You can order at anytime and select Christmas delivery at checkout. Or select a different shipping method and order nearer the time. Most livestock will be happy to be kept in their packaging for up to a week. The only thing you will need to do is add a tiny dab of sugar honey to the tube every couple of days and keep the tube somewhere dark and cool. You might also prefer to purchase the set now and the ants at a later date.
