Welcome to HexNest

Ant keeping is a fun and fascinating hobby. There is always so much to learn! If you are like us, you want to keep as many species as you can. That means Space will quickly become an issue. You also want to be able to easily and quickly expand the nesting area for your ants. Most importantly, you want to provide your colonies with homes that are healthy, secure, make them easily observable, and have a setup that is very attractive. 

This is what we sought to do, and we believe we have accomplished much of that.

• HexNest is a beautiful formicarium that can easily be a centerpiece in a room, or on your office desk.
• You can quickly expand and add additional formicariums within seconds reducing the chance of injuring an ant or allowing one to escape.
• HexNest is also very space efficient! The hex shape and close fitting modules makes optimal use of limited table space.
• And because these modules interlink with specially designed locking adapters, no tubes to fall out, they are very secure.
• HexNest can also work with your existing formicariums and outworlds! All the adapters you might need are included.

We are very pleased with the results and hope you are as well! And no, we are not stopping here. We are continuously finding ways to improve Ant Keeping for the Ants as well as for the Keepers.
