Hi guys, i have a messor barbarus colony with about 50-80 workers. They need a new nest because the one I currently have is getting to small.

That raiseses the question, wich nest (from AntsCanada or ants aus) should i buy? I like the formica hybrit nest 2.0 but maybe thats to big. They do store there seeds in the nest tho.

If someone could help me out here i would we thankful. (Im sorry if my English is bad)

I recommend the nests designed for camponotus. They offer a lot of space and are designed to be less humid. Which is ideal for them to store their seeds. I guess by now they will have outgrown their current nest tho.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Currently not keeping any ants anymore.
