Since I've been here in the forum for quite some time and I now run my own small ant shop in Germany, I want to make a giveaway.

 

You can choose between two different ant nests made out of Ytong:

and

The dimensions are 20 cm x 13 cm x 5 cm. The nest has 3 holes in which you can put tubes to connect the nest to an outworld. You can choose between the following diameters:

 

  • 8 mm
  • 10 mm
  • 12 mm
  • 14 mm
  • 16 mm
  • 18 mm

The nest includes beside the glass a cover too:

In order to get one of these nests all you have to do is reply with: "I want a nest".

 

The giveaway will be open until Sunday 2019-08-25 20:00 (CET, GMT+2)

 

The winner will be randomly selected from all who responded with "I want a nest". I will ship the nest to the location provided by the winner.

 

All can take part except for all admins and moderators of the Ants and Ant keeping discord server.

 

I wish you luck and have fun taking part.

yes but only in German: https://shop.crazyants.de/

English version is planned but all the legal texts have to be translated which is either a lot of work or quite expensive ;)

This is pretty awesome. Ytong is so hard to get here in the US.

I recommend closing the unneeded holes with cotton or other air-permeable material.

Are the diameters provided the width of the tubing? If they are, 18mm.

If your tubing has an outer diameter of 18 mm it will fit in a hole with a diameter of 18 mm yes.
