I don't see a Buy Now

 

Nice design! How tight do the containers fit together? any wiggle room? Think of using very thin magnet strips on each side to prevent from coming apart?

Just watched your video on it. Make some more videos of your ants while they're in it in the future

I just put one in there with eggs and brood. I'll do a video on it. Yeah I'm curious how it will keep ants.
