Building your formicarium

There are many different formicariums for keeping ants. Actually, many things that can be kept moist and escape-proof are usable. Have a look at our guides and try building one yourself.

Classic Ant Farm

The classic ant farm stands proudly, forcing the ants to dig near the glass – giving the ant keeper a great view of the nest.

Glass Jars

A formicarium doesn’t need to be very advanced. Try making one out of two glass jars!

Tank

An aquarium, terrarium or other resembling a tank will be great for your ants. As long as it’s ok with moisture!
