A comprehensive, InDepth Guide on How to make an Ytong Ant Nest (Ant Farm) yourself (DIY). In this Build Video of our Series, we show you how to design and make an Ant Formicarium (housing for your pet Ants) by using Ytong as a material. The End Result offers the Ants a Nesting Medium, which you can later connect to an Outworld (foraging area). Both are essential Components for an Ant Colony to thrive under your care!

Our favourite Ant Colonies shall later be introduced to these Formicaria.

The Tools and Materials used are mostly simple So you can give it a try yourself too!
We list helpful equipment bellow, to make it a better experience for you and hope you follow our Footsteps!
