Recommended Nests for Breeding
Providing suitable nesting options is vital when breeding and caring for Crematogaster scutellaris colonies. These ants thrive in nests made of materials such as acrylic, cork, gypsum, and aerated concrete. The choice of nest material depends on factors such as moisture retention, durability, and ease of maintenance.
Acrylic nests are a popular choice due to their transparency, allowing for easy observation of ant behavior and nest development. Cork nests provide a natural aesthetic and excellent moisture retention, while gypsum and aerated concrete nests offer durability and insulation properties. Consider your preferences and the needs of your Crematogaster scutellaris colony when selecting the appropriate nest type for breeding.
