If im not mistaken its not foam but its a gypsum nest or so but another person could help u better at that since i only have ytong and cork nests ...

really, does the antstore have it? and is it possible to use foam? and what is gypsum nest made of.

I think gypsum is what it's made out of.

Gypsum nest are made of gypsum. ;)

I heard of people using foam but i'm still not convinced that it is a good nest for ants. I think it is better to use a y-tong or a sand nest. (or gypsum)

okay, is there anyway for me to get gypsum nest to america? is there somewhere here where they make it.

Im not sure maybe you should try ytong but some people that live in america say no one does ytong so you should find out the bricks name in america here we call it breeze block so it might be different in america ytongs are better than gypsum :)

you should easily be able to obtain breeze blocks or aereated concrete block in a DIY store for builders, i mean in england it be B&Q or Wikkens or so cant remember name properly right now hehe...
