Microscopic Series Ant Nest - Wood

We use hard composite gypsum. After detailed testing, the hardness of our gypsum is 45~50D, while the hardness of other brand gypsum is 20~30D. The most obvious difference between our gypsum and other brand gypsum is that our nests will not be chewed by the ants after a long period of time, while other brand gypsum nests will be chewed by the ants and become pitted.

由於並非密閉式設計，因此水分揮發較快，需每週加水，濕度變化大，飼養效果略遜於封閉式的馬卡龍系列蟻巢，不過安裝我們的外接式水塔至巢室，即可解決此問題。
另外，蟻巢本身不可活動、不可拆卸，因此重複利用時較不易清洗乾淨。

After the ants have moved out of the nest, you can rinse the nest with water and a discarded toothbrush to clean the moldy and dirty areas, and leave it to dry under the sun (shade drying is also acceptable), then you can refill the water again and use it again.

Ant excreta, prey remains, etc. will cause moldy nests, which is unavoidable in the process of keeping ants. However, do not worry, as healthy ants will disinfect their nests and clean themselves properly, so moldy nests will not have any negative impact on healthy ants.
We can inhibit or minimize the moldy condition by lowering the amount of water added to the nest, letting it dry out a bit, cleaning the feeding area and avoiding feeding live animals.
