Modular 1:1 Founding Nest
The Modular 0:1 Founding Nest is designed specifically for founding colonies or semi-claustral queens, providing a safe and comfortable environment for growth. Its compact chamber layout helps the queen feel secure and at ease, which is essential for a healthy, thriving colony. A red acrylic cover is included, allowing you to check on your colony without fully exposing them to light. Each modular port also features a closeable gate, making expansions simple and stress-free. Just open, connect, and you’re ready to go. The 1:1 layout means one side exit and one front exit, ideal for straightforward and controlled expansions. For added peace of mind, you can also add an optional blackout cover to simulate the natural darkness of underground nests and keep your colony at ease.
Please note: Our Modular range is only compatible with other AntsDavey Modular products. Our regular nests and outworlds won’t connect.
Suitable For
This nest is perfect for queens with their first workers, semi-claustral queens, and small founding colonies. Capacity will vary depending on the species and worker size, but it’s built to provide a safe, controlled environment during these crucial early stages. While we still recommend test tubes for fully claustral queens, this nest becomes the ideal step forward once workers arrive, and it’s also an excellent starting point for semi-claustral queens.
Tips
- You can also hydrate the plaster nest directly between the acrylic, and it will soak it up, for those species who love humidity that extra bit more.
- For exotic species, it is recommended to heat the nest before moving the ants inside so you can monitor the temperatures within the nest and adjust it to their needs.
- For exotic species, be sure to provide a heat gradient so the ants can pick and choose where to sit.
