Buy acrylic nest

Besides buying a 3D nest, you can also buy an acrylic nest to provide your ants with a comfortable home. When we talk about buying an acrylic nest, most people are referring to an ant farm.

An acrylic nest is a very practical nest

By purchasing an acrylic nest, you're buying a very practical one. It uses highly transparent and lightweight materials. This is ideal, as it allows the colony to remain clearly visible. In most cases, an acrylic nest will be integrated with the outdoor enclosure. If you decide to buy an acrylic nest and want to use it, first remove the protective film. Of course, always place the acrylic nest in a quiet location.

You can buy an acrylic nest in different shapes and sizes

Acrylic nests are available in various versions. Some models have a tray at the bottom, which you can then easily fill with water. Others have a sponge at the top. Moisten this sponge with a pipette, making sure the moisture reaches the nesting space. This area also needs to be partially moistened and kept moist. Acrylic nests often come with mats to connect certain spaces. You can do this by dipping the mats in boiling water to soften them. Then, they can easily be connected to the desired space.

First place the test tube in the outdoor area; this will prevent stress for the queen

Placing the ants in an acrylic nest does require some expertise. Initially, you should place the test tube outdoors, not directly in the nest. This can cause stress for the queen, which you should always try to avoid. The best nest, of course, depends somewhat on the type of ants you're keeping. Some swear by a 3D nest, for example, while others prefer a wooden one. This depends heavily on the ants' adaptability. So always get thorough advice before purchasing a specific nest. Only if you know how to create the ideal conditions can you work effectively with your own ant colony.
