What if someone made an adaptable formicarium that fits all types of ants. That would be pretty cool.

    I have been trying for the last year. I have succeeded to build a formicarium that will house all ants that have basic founding needs (as in they don't need specialized conditions). I have seen a noticeable difference in growth between colonies raised in a test tube vs. my formicaria. Ant colonies raised in my formicaria have increased growth rate as well as a more lively reaction to food.

    I was thinking having adjustable chambers with tunnels and nests having slidable walls controlled from the back. It doesn't work though.

Do you still own ants? Are you willing to sell any I live in Kansas and would like any species. Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask.
