An in-depth guide on how to build an Ant Farm that takes it a step further than regular formicarium designs here on RU-vid by creating a natural habitat with multiple nest areas. As a bonus I also included footage of my healthy 2,5 years old Messor Barbarus colony exploring their new world. An extended update video on “life inside the colony” will hopefully follow soon, so stay tuned!

A special shoutout to Ants Scandinavia & Ants Australia, their video’s motivated me to create one myself! You should know that I didn’t have any experience with creating a formicarium or editing prior to this video so forgive me if you notice sloppy details 😉.
Here is a list of the tools and materials I used:
- Acrylic paint (Black, White, Yellow, Red)
- Aquarium
- Aquarium Silicone kit
- Carving materials (screwdrivers, knife, speed drill bit)
- Decorations (stones, plants, wood)
- Dessert sand (red and brown)
- Face mask
- Pencils
- Plaster
- Polystyrene
- Tile adhesive (Eurocol 705)
- Ytong (AAC) blocks
- Ytong saw (others might also work fine)
