Digfix Ant Nests – Natural Substrate for Ant Colonies

Category: Digfix Ant Nests

Digfix nests use a special substrate that allows ants to dig and build their own chambers, offering a realistic habitat that mimics nature. They provide enrichment for ants while allowing keepers to observe underground activity.

These nests combine the benefits of natural digging with the practicality of artificial housing, making them a great option for both beginners and advanced hobbyists.

Why Choose Digfix Ant Nests

• Natural behavior – ants dig their own tunnels and chambers, just like in soil.
• Realistic habitat – supports colony health and encourages natural instincts.
• Good visibility – transparent sides let you watch the digging process.
• Species versatility – suitable for many soil-dwelling ants.

Tips for Using Digfix Nests

• Moisten the substrate lightly to make digging easier for ants.
• Use smaller nests for young colonies and expand as they grow.
• Avoid overwatering to prevent tunnel collapse or mold growth.
• Connect to an outworld for safe feeding and waste disposal.
