A comprehensive Guide on How to make a Cavern Ant Farm (DIY Formicarium) from Ytong. In this Build Video I show you How YOU can design an Ant Water Tower, a water tank to drink. The final terrarium offers the Ants both a Nesting Medium (Ytong Nest) and an Outworld (foraging area), which are both essential components for your pet Ant Colony to thrive!

Some of our favourite Ant Colonies shall later be introduced to this Formicarium.
The Tools and Materials used are mostly simple - So you can give it a try yourself too!
