Using a Hybrid Nest for a Different Species
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2019 11:12 am
Good Morning!!!
I've been a fan of Ants and AntsCanada for around 2 years and I'm finally ready to start my first ant colony.
My wife gave me a Formica Hybrid Nest 2.0 (with an outer world and starter kit) as a gift. However, where I live in California and many of the ants for sale around me are Camponotus. So would it be okay for me to house Camponotus ants in a nest designed for Formica? I read in the Ant Keepers Guide that it is suitable for most common species, but I just wanted to double check.
Thank you!
