Starter kits with gypsum nest

These Starter kits with a gypsum nest are ideal for ant species that live in or between stones. In addition, gypsum nests are also suitable for species that live in earth nests. The nest has prefabricated naturalistic chambers and passages so that the ants can move in directly.

Since the gypsum nest must have a thickness of at least 20mm in order to be easily manufactured and transported without being damaged, the Gypsum Starter kit is only available in size L.

The gypsum nest is best used in dry and slightly damp formicariums. If the nest is kept permanently moist, the material can go moldy. For permanently moist habitats such as rainforest formicariums, our Digfix nests and Starter kits or the Habitat Rainforest Starter kits are alternatively suitable.
