    Ants HQ Nursery Tube (18x180mm)
     

    The Ants HQ Nursery Tube (18x180mm) is perfectly sized for founding young queen ants, offering a more natural and supportive environment than standard test tube setups. Its textured base mimics rough soil, while an external hydration hole delivers moisture directly to the base, creating a humid, cocoon-friendly zone ideal for brood development.
     

    This setup is especially beneficial for species in the Ponerinae subfamily, such as Harpegnathos venator and Odontoponera transversa, where larvae need optimal surface conditions to spin their cocoons and ensure early colony success.
     

    Thanks to its high humidity design, it’s also a great choice for native UK species like Myrmica and Lasius, supporting both founding queens and early-stage colonies.
     

    The Nursery Tube is compatible with an optional mini foraging extension, ideal for semi-claustral queens that require external feeding, and equally handy for nourishing young colonies without disturbing their nest area.
