A Small Nest for Your Ant Colony

This nest is the ideal size for allowing your colony to grow beyond the founding stage. With multiple exits, it's easy to expand the nest as needed. You can enlarge it, attach a Thermo/Hydro meter (available separately), or even place a heating cable underneath using our optional nest legs.

This nest has three chambers with a naturel appearance

Included in this set:

A PLA nest (3D printed) measuring 5x10cm
A separate white removable inner part made of PLA (3D printed)
A 3mm transparent plexiglass cover with a hole for nest humidification
3 nest ports:
2 closed ports to seal extra openings
1 open port to connect the nest to an external world
Melamine Sponge for effective moisture absorption
Stainless steel mesh to keep ants out of the reservoir
• The white removable inner part is perfect if the exterior is a different color than white, ensuring you can always see the ants clearly.
• The plexiglass is secured with Allen screws mounted in copper threads, making disassembly easy for tasks like cleaning the nest.
• The port with an opening can accommodate a small tube (OD 10mm) or a large tube (ID 12mm) (not included).
• The humidification chamber is filled with Melamine Sponge for efficient moisture absorption. Excess moisture drains from the sides to prevent it from entering the nest. The stainless steel mesh keeps ants out of the reservoir and can be easily cleaned or replaced if necessary.
• The nest features three beautifully designed chambers (10mm) that allow for expansion, such as adding a temperature and humidity sensor or a second nest.

OPTIONS:
• The nest is available in multiple colors.
• Various types of inlays can be ordered.
