I have a young pavement colony ant want to move them in when they have 30 workers and after hibernation. What nest would be better fit for a young pavement ant colony the Esthetic ants small mesh nest, or the Wakooshi gen 4 founding gypsum module?

 

Thank you for your time!

Hello evanmancini2011;

 

Can you please supply links to the specific formicaria you're considering?   That way, we'll all be talking about the same things.

Yes,

1. https://www.esthetic...mall-mesh-nest   

2.https://www.wakooshi...=43299198566600

 

Sorry I do not know why the first link is not working if you click on the link go to nest and then click on the small mesh ant nest. That will be the first links nest I will be considering. 

 

Thank you!

With good care, Tetramorium will outgrow either of those two nests in three weeks or less. Think bigger, or better yet, keep them in a tub and tubes setup.

Yeah, something easily expandable would be better. But either of those will work for a little while.

Lots and lots of food and heat. Feed them every day if you can, they're always hungry.
