Ant Nests – Safe & Durable Homes for Your Colonies

Category: Ant Nests

Ant nests are the core of every colony setup, providing a secure and stable home where ants can live, grow, and thrive. From natural-style habitats to modular, expandable systems, there are nest types suited for every species and keeper’s preference.

Choosing the right nest helps maintain ideal humidity, temperature, and safety for your colony while allowing you to observe and enjoy their natural behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ant Nests

Which nest type is best for beginners?

Acrylic or small Ytong nests are great for beginners thanks to easy setup and visibility.

How do I choose the right nest for my species?

Consider your ants’ natural habitat – soil-dwellers thrive in Digfix, while larger species often do well in Ytong or Modular nests.

Do I need more than one nest?

Over time, yes – as colonies grow, additional or larger nests are needed to provide enough space.

Can nests be reused for new colonies?

Yes – with thorough cleaning and sterilization, nests can be prepared for future use.

Do all nests need hydration?

Most species benefit from humidity control, but the amount depends on the species and nest type.
