DIY formicariums
Hello ant family! I've being quite curious if any of you know of any DIY ant farns that seem convenient and neat to have. Seen the easiest way would be eith a fish tank but does anyone have any other awesome ways to make them or even outworlds!

Re: DIY formicariums
I used grout and clay, the clay being used as the mold for the tunnels and chambers. I don't have a picture to post at the moment but give me a few hours and I'll post one. It was very easy and simple to make. I just now gotta get a queen lol. More than likely have to wait till spring now.

Re: DIY formicariums
Grout is also fairly cheap and easy to work with. U can make a decent formicarium with it. Its easy to keep hydrated as well. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to make one hands on. Plus my kids enjoyed helping me with it as well. Cleanup is easy and if you miss some it comes up no problem.
