All-in-One Starter Nest for New Ant Colonies
This compact nest is expertly designed for ant keepers who are starting their journey with a new queen or a tiny colony. Its small size mimics a natural founding chamber, reducing stress and providing the security needed for your colony to successfully establish itself.
Key Benefits:
◆ Ideal Founding Environment: The modest dimensions (68mm L x 60mm W x 27mm H) are intentionally small to avoid overwhelming a new queen and her first workers, preventing anxiety and promoting brood care.
◆ Complete Starter Solution: Everything you need to begin is included—the nest itself, hydration via plaster tubes, and essential care items.
◆ Integrated Hydration: The two 15mm plaster-bottom test tubes provide a constant source of moisture, which is crucial for the founding stage.
