The Small Ytong Nest – Type B is a compact formicarium designed for small to growing ant colonies. It provides excellent moisture regulation and a natural nesting environment, making it suitable for a wide range of species.
Small Ytong Nest - Type B
This nest features a cubed chamber design, creating structured nesting spaces that allow ants to cluster brood and organize efficiently. The porous Ytong material creates a stable and humid microclimate ideal for healthy colony development.
Moisture is added through the side-mounted hydration chimney, allowing controlled hydration without disturbing the colony. An escape-proof mesh is embedded into the frame, while a clear acrylic cover secured with screws provides visibility and protection. A red shield is included to reduce light exposure and support natural ant behavior.
This nest is designed to be used only in a horizontal, flat position.
