Things are moving fast at HexNest and we are VERY excited! We are now providing more options for the HexNest Foundry as well as HexNest Branch and HexNest Hex formicariums.

For all three we are offering the option to have your foundry or formicarium to have vents. This is particularly useful for very small ant species that easily squeeze through the smallest gaps. If you are housing tiny species or the species you are keeping prefers a more confined space with no air circulation, then the Non-Vented option is for you!

For the HexNest Foundry, we are offering the choice of a Clear top or a Red top. The advantage of the clear top is that viewing your founding queen is very easy and taking pictures and video is unhindered. The Red top provides a level of comfort for your growing colony because to them the chamber is dark. The drawback is that though you can still view your colony's activities, taking pictures or video is a little more difficult.

For our last announcement for today, we are also moving HexNest Hex into full production! This formicarium design offers large and small chambers for your colony to choose from to suit their needs. Hex also comes with the optional red cover, vented or non-vented, as well as the optional fine substrate. HexNest Hex's internal design is one of our favorites. It has a very high tech appearance and is manufactured with the same top level quality and materials as our other products.

Pictures to follow very soon!

This is a late notice, but we are proud to announce that HexNest is now selling on multiple platforms. It’s been a significant learning curve and had its fair share of frustration and stress, but we accomplished the mission just in time for Christmas.

What platforms?
Facebook
Instagram
Shopify
eBay
Walmart
Amazon
Etsy

Anyone looking to start a store on any of these, please ask me. Some were easy on the trivial side, such as Etsy, while others have taken weeks of frustration, such as Walmart.

Also we are having a 15% sale on our products on the Shopify store: https://www.hexnest.me. So please place your orders soon so we have t to build, quality control, and ship before Christmas. Also materials are limited and hard to get these days, so finished products are in limited availability.

Excellent news folks! We have officially launched HexNest Branch with an optional substrate coating.

Some ant species do not do well living on a slick surface such as acrylic. Pogonomyrmex are a perfect example of this. Also some species require to have substrate available to form their cocoons.

We have spent months working on this problem. We knew the solution, but manufacturing our product with the substrate proved to be quite the challenge. We are always striving for high quality products for our customers, so we kept at this for quite some time until we FINALLY got it right! Perfectly in fact!

Another advantage of the substrate is that it helps maintain consistent humidity within the formicarium. Another advantage for your favorite species!

Here are our new pictures of HexNest Branch in various colors with the substrate treatment.

Greetings fellow ant keepers!

Things have been quiet on facebook as we have been very busy making product improvements.

As such HexNest Beanch will be improved with an optional addition of substrate applied to the bottom layer. This will improve the quality of life for species that are more comfortable in an environment that is more natural.

Along with this HexNest Cyst and Hex along with Foundry will be made available with the substrate.

New pictures will be made available soon!

Greetings fellow ant keepers!

We are almost ready to launch another HexNest Formicarium! This Formicarium, as with HexNest Hex, is in prototype testing stages, so again we only have a rendering. As with Hex, we are VERY excited about this new design.

Cyst - named after the large chambers it offers - is a formicarium designed with six rather large chambers for your colony to make a home in. The hydration chambers straddle the these chambers and the passages between.

This Formicarium, as with Hex is completely compatible with HexNest Branch and HexNest Foundry.

As with Hex and Branch, this design will be offered with a choice of substrates. This substrate will be available in Fine and Coarse. This gives your colony a nice comfortable floor to walk around on and also provides material to aid in cocooning.

Please let us know what you think!
