Hi ratgreen and welcome,
Vertical ore horizontal, doesn't matter, the ants make no deal about it. ;)
Vertical farms need less space than horizontal but they are a little bit difficult to make.
Well im def gonna have mine flat and put it on top of my set of drawers.. Then cover it with a magazine or somat so that some of the nest is dark ;)
Just a thought guys does it make a difference what size bowl you have ??
And what substrate do you have in your bowls?? Just for some ideas lol
Hiya Miszt.. Just asked him this morning and he wreckons less than a tenner.. Im gonna get a sheet done either later today or tomorrow and i shall take a pic to show you ;)
Just been down to order.. and he will have it done later.. So pics will be up later this evening.. Was quoted when i was down there between £7-8 i think thats cheap myself..
thats for 20x43 cm with a 7cm diameter hole.. With the sharpness taken off the edges.
Ok here are the pics miszt.. the hole was a little bigger than i had hoped but still very good.. He did say he could make the hole a little smaller not a great deal tho..
Actuall size is just under 43cm x 20cm and the hole is around 10cm Diameter. Edges have been smoothed and total price was £7 :)
Glass isnt marked just a bit smeared where he used water to cut.
and excuse my ytong lol its still in the making.
cool ty, which one do you guys think is the better nest

or just look at this topic lol.. loads of great ideas
yer the antvert (not the antvert2) does look a bit silly looking at it now. the number 2 has the same number of chambers so i probs do second one
Would i be right in saying u have yaself a ytong block then ratgreen ?
no actually i was meant to get one at the weekend but i went out to buy a huge sheet of perspex its about 1.5m by 2m for about 20 quid, and forgot but should be getting one soon :)
lol.. i kept forgeting myself.. then when i did go.. couldnt find 1 anywhere.. eventually got 1 from Wicks.. :D
