Making a Ytong ant nest

[devortiz06]

Where do you get ytong blocks? I have not actually looked at a hardware or garden store yet but when I googled it I didn't find anywhere that sells individual blocks, local or online. (I'm in Utah, USA)

@devortiz06

you can buy them from D I Y stores, Also you can buy them from AntStore ;)

[devortiz06]

@AntsEngland stores in the united states don't carry them. Do you ship to the U.S.? Also, how big is that hebal block nest? It looks a little large for a small new colony such as mine, about 50 workers (Tetramorium Species E), but they are growing fast.

@AntsEngland

Thanks! Am thinking of using 215mm length blocks< would you consider these size blocks too small?
