A comprehensive, In-Depth Guide on How to make a a cheap and efficient Formicarium (Ant Farm) yourself (DIY) fast and easy! In this Build Video of our Series, we show you how to design and make an Ant Terrarium for your pet ants, if you are on a tight Budget, using an IKEA Samla Box. The End Result offers the Ants a Nesting Medium AND an Outworld (foraging area), which are both very essential Components for an Ant Colony to thrive under your care!
