Description:<\/strong>
\nYtong is a brand name, the material itself is called aerated concrete.
\nDue to the water retaining property, the material is well suited for ant keeping.
\nIt is possible to keep in it a great number of burrowing species, both from dry and wet habitats.
\nDepending on the ant species, it is recommended to cover the bottom of the chambers with soil substrate. Some species feel more comfortable this way and for example Ponerinae species (Ura ants) need soil so that their larvae can pupate properly.
\nWe recommend attaching an arena to the nest to use it as a full formicarium.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong>
\nTo prevent water from leaking out of the Ytong after wetting the nest area and collecting on the surface of the furniture underneath, or the rough material scratching the surfaces, we recommend ordering one of our matching glass tubs to go with our Ytong nests. These are waterproof and so effectively protect underlying surfaces from water and scratch damage.<\/p>\n

Usage:<\/strong>
\nFor ant species of size M – L.<\/strong>
\nAerated concrete is a very brittle and fragile material. Therefore, due to the manufacturing process, it is impossible to prevent corners and edges from showing slight breaks and unevenness.
\nBecause of this, Ytong nests are not suitable for very small ant species of size S, as these species could easily break out here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
