Want help on first ant farm
Hi! I want to make an ant farm but have no idea how to. Can anyone help me?
Re: Want help on first ant farm
Hiya, I’ve found lots of resources a for this on either Pinterest or YouTube. There are mason jar ideas, with substrate for them to dig against the glass. There is a smaller jar inside taking yo space, causing them to dig near the glass.
Or you could go with tubs & tubes. These are very simple, you use the test tube set up placed in a tub or larger outworld. If they need more nesting space, add more test tubes with water and replaced as they dry out or mould. There are quite a few formicarium tutorials online

Are you talking about making a nest, or starting a colony?
If your asking about making a nest, here are some ideas

If you are talking about how to start a colony in general, I suggest going to AntsCanada's old tutorial videos and watching them all. The new ones are not as informative, so definitely go back to the tutorials.

Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
