Formicarium Ivory L

Big colonies organise on a big scale, and Ivory L gives them room to do it: many enclosed rooms to dedicate to brood, food and quarters, with five humidity chambers keeping every corner of the nest at a steady moisture. Four latches let you open it in stages so growth stays controlled.

Ivory L is built for established colonies of roughly 500–1200 workers, especially species that like structured, zoned nests. Move a maturing colony in and give it the space to keep building.

Even in a large nest, keep the colony in as little space as possible at first. Use the four latches to open rooms in stages — the nest always feels right-sized to the colony.

Fill the humidity chambers and the gypsum wicks moisture into the surrounding rooms, holding an even gradient the colony can choose from. Top up the water every few days; the stone keeps the climate stable with none of the condensation swings of sealed acrylic.

Breathable gypsum plus light airflow keeps the nest fresh. Avoid over-watering, clear leftover food promptly, and leave a waterer empty for a day if a room gets too damp.

The fitted lid and arena walls keep workers contained. For tiny or climbing species, a thin band of anti-escape fluid around the arena rim adds extra security.

Ivory L arrives clean and ready. Rinse the gypsum, let it take up water, connect a tube if joining an outworld, and populate — no curing, no fuss.

Dress the integrated arena with sand, a stone or some moss to make a tidy foraging space and a display piece. Keep it light so feeding and cleaning stay easy.

Pair Ivory L with a drinking dish, protein and carbohydrate jelly, and soft tweezers for clean feeding. A tube connection lets you add an arena or link nests as the colony grows.

Gypsum is sturdy and easy to wipe down. Spot-clean the arena, refresh the water, and don’t force the latches while the colony is active.

Shipped year-round with heat or cool packs and a live-arrival guarantee — DHL across the EU, InPost in Poland, EMS worldwide. Questions on set-up or species fit? The ANTonTOP team keeps ants too and is glad to help.

Open the four latches in sequence as the colony fills each section. When the whole nest is in use, connect a second arena or a modular nest through the 10 mm port to keep growing.

The bigger the colony, the more strictly ants separate their functions — nurseries far from waste, food stores near the entrance. Ivory L’s many rooms let a large colony build that structure in full view.

How big a colony does Ivory L suit?
Roughly 500–1200 workers — established mid-to-large colonies.

What’s the box-room layout for?
Separate enclosed rooms let the colony assign zones — brood, food, queen — naturally.

How often do I add water?
Usually every few days; top up the five humidity chambers.

Can I connect more space?
Yes — through the 10 mm tube port, add an arena or modular nest anytime.
