Re: What can I make a nest out of
I created a cheap nest with plastic cup and plaster like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DMeoc2-FbM2pAjWD7P19bSDCENBtPyicIg/view?usp=sharing
I poured the plaster in the cup, i let it to dry, then I carved out as you can see on the picture. I also put small plastic cup and plate on the top of the plaster, one will be for water to drink, the other for food. Like this I will be able to clean the pastic.
I found similar nests on the internet, but I don't know yet if it is will be OK in long term.

I'm a hungarian unexperienced ant keeper with one Formica rufibarbis and two Lasius Niger queens.
