Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
I am a wannabe ant keeper and I'm not sure which nest (Omni or Hyrbid) is best. With price, difficulty, and general positive aspects, which one would be better for a beginner ant keeper? This will be my first colony.

--Tetramorium Caespitum
--Camponotus pennsylvanicus

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
Both can work equally well in different scenarios.. You haven't told us what species you plan to keep, so we cannot make an accurate assessment.

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
I am hoping to get a formic or tetramorium as they are somewhat common around my area.

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
I assume you mean Formica. They both have benifits, such as the lower cost of the Omni nest when compared to the Hybrid nest. On the other hand, AntsCanada has hybrid nests tailored to both those species. All in all, it really depends on your preference (a formicarium modeled for a specific genus vs. the entire Formicadae family) and your price range.

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
Which one do you prefer and do ants like one over the other? Also, looking at the starter kits, which one is a better deal or should get a starter kit at all?

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
I honestly haven't used either. But the starter kits can save some money versus buying those things individually. That said, both do come with out worlds.SamuelMamuel wrote:Which one do you prefer and do ants like one over the other?

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
I am somewhat leaning towards the omni, but the hybrid does look gorgeous with its outworld and looks easier to make into a good outworld

Re: Omni Nest or Hybrid Nest
Does one get dirtier than the other?
