aleawol Ant Nest Farm Natural Gypsum, Transparent Ant Formicarium World House Feeding Box for Observing Habits Science Experiment Gift

Honestly the best ant home I have ever had, great nest size and the outland part is a decent size aswell good for a decent sized colony my colony is messor barbarus red head and they fit perfectly

The nest is well made and a good size. I is worth checking for any gaps where very small ants could escape from. I found no major issues. My only issue is that the gypsom nest did seem to have a high moisture content. The humidity in the small foraging area was close to 90 % . It was not possible for me to take a reading in the nest area. It did cause a lot of condensation on the glass, which could lead to mould. This could be easy rectified by removing the nest from the container and letting it dry out a little. Overall a good product

i would like to start with pros of this nest firstly very spacious and lots of room for ants, good water circulation and very sturdy but the problem comes in with the water hole if you have to many ants in there you cant get to it without some going in or getting bitten, it also started to mould on the underside from the water being put in, if you are housing a small species of ant they can escape through gaps in the connecter for the nest and out world (this wont be a problem if your housing a species like harvester ants)overall good nest just needs a few tweaks for the part that they can escape from i have put masking tape around it so they cant get out and the water area i have attaches a pipe for easy accessEDIT; do not buy this i was gone for 2 days and they died from the heat while in a shaded area for comparison my other small colony in direct sunlight was completely fine with 0 deaths terrible enclosure

Grows mould and a lot of condensation

Well what can I say, I am totally blown away with this habitat. I want to put my harvester colony in here but they jave decided to use another habitat I have, I do have the tubing so I will attach them together. Very heavy for such a small tank and it came with tweezers and a pipette. Great value for money, once my family have moved, I will add another photo....Update.......Well my little family decided to move lock, stock and barrel to the tower, so now I have a happy little family of harvester ants.
