what should I buy!
I love the AntsCanada products but unfortunately they cost too much and i don't have my own credit card (cause i'm only 12(I might be older when this is read)) and my parents aren't willing to pay the cost for a formicarium. if any of you think there is a better way to get an ant colony please tell me. otherwise i guess ill have to set my queens free or convince my parents to buy me a formicarium.
please help me

Re: what should I buy!
Maybe you could ask for the formicarium to be an early birthday/Christmas present. There are also a lot of options out there besides AntsCanada products.
Another option that a lot of ant keepers enjoy is homemade formicariums. That’s actually how AntsCanada started, with Mikey making his own formicariums and then starting to sell them. There’s probably hundreds of do it yourself turtoruals on YouTube. They can be elaborate and made out of plaster, y-tong or some other materials. Or they could simply be a container filled with dirt or a plastic bead or pill container.
