Say goodbye to daily hydration stress with the Avalon Ant Nest — the perfect setup for antkeepers who want a reliable, hands-off solution. Designed for convenience and long-term colony care, the Avalon is a medium-sized plastic nest that sits securely atop a massive water reservoir capable of lasting for several months without refilling. Ideal for humidity-loving species, this nest makes hydration simple and efficient.
 
💧 Effortless Hydration System
Water enters the nest through a plug system — and right now, you’ll receive both a Ytong and a gypsum plug as part of our ongoing testing to determine the optimal option. The built-in central refill point allows you to top up the reservoir without detaching the bottom, ensuring continuous humidity and hydration with zero hassle.
 
🐜 Two Chamber Options for Different Species
Choose the perfect chamber size for your colony:
Small Chamber Version: ~8mm depth, suitable for species like Lasius, Messor, and Pheidole.
Large Chamber Version: ~12mm depth, ideal for larger ants such as Camponotus.
Each nest has a 50mm diameter, with ergonomically designed chambers to promote natural behavior and colony growth.
 
🔧 Fully Assembled & Ready to Go
The Avalon Ant Nest comes fully assembled — just attach your 10mm tubing, and you're ready to house your ants in minutes. Also included are:
A red and black shield, letting you choose your preferred light protection
