ANTCUBE – Gypsum nest 20×20 – standing

This standing ANTCUBE gypsum ant nest has dimensions of 182 x 159 x 19.5 mm. It's crafted from high - quality gypsum or plaster. The nest features pre - made passages and chambers, making it an ideal home for many ant species, especially those that typically build nests in sandy or stony soils. There's a convenient hole for ants to access the nest. One of the great advantages of the plaster material is its water - absorbing property, which helps store a certain level of moisture. However, it's important not to keep the nest permanently damp as it can lead to mold growth, often caused by ant food remains or excrement. Hence, it's best suited for ant species from dry regions like the Mediterranean or deserts. This nest fits only in our antfarms of size L.

Using this ant nest is easy. First, place it in an antfarm of size L. You can then introduce your ants to the nest through the access hole. When it comes to moisture, you can lightly mist the nest occasionally to keep it at an appropriate humidity level, but don't overdo it. As for maintenance, check regularly for any signs of mold, especially around areas where there might be ant food or waste. If you spot mold, carefully clean the affected area and make sure the nest dries out a bit more. Also, avoid using the nest with ants from very humid regions as it might not provide the best living conditions for them.
