Nest Tube HydroPlug PE 150x16

The Nest Tube HydroPlug PE 150x16 is the ideal nesting solution for founding and keeping ant colonies. It consists of a transparent PE test tube with an integrated HydroPlug made from high-quality, fine-pored foam. The HydroPlug acts as a durable water reservoir, providing a consistent and reliable moisture supply for the nest.

Unlike conventional cotton, HydroPlug features a smooth, fine-pored surface on which surface mold is far less likely to develop. This keeps the nest tube more hygienic and provides ants with a clean, natural nesting environment. At the same time, HydroPlug absorbs a large amount of water and gradually releases moisture over an extended period.

Another key advantage is its reusability. The HydroPlug can be easily removed, washed, and reused multiple times. This makes the nest tube particularly durable, sustainable, and low-maintenance.

The nest tube is ideal for founding new ant colonies, the safe transport and shipping of ants, and as an additional nest within a formicarium or ant farm.
