🐜 Small Nest - (3.2in x 3.5in)

This handmade AAC nest is a great next step for young colonies moving beyond their founding stage. With multiple carved chambers and a compact footprint, it gives ants space to explore and grow while keeping the setup easy to manage.

• Capacity: Suitable for a queen and ~30–60 workers (species dependent)

• Best for: Messor barbarus, Lasius niger, Myrmica spp., and other medium to large species

• Features:

  • Durable AAC build for natural humidity control

  • Crystal-clear glass window for perfect viewing

  • Multiple chambers for seed storage, brood care, and resting areas

  • Connector port for attaching outworlds or hydration tubes

This nest balances size and function, making it ideal for keepers who want to give their colony room to expand without jumping straight to a medium nest.
