Be amazed at how the ants use and organize their new space and experience firsthand how intelligent these remarkable creatures are! You will see how the ants dig tunnels in the sand and create the right layout. Openings have been made on both sides to connect the formicarium to other parts of your ant city. The connectors for the tubing are designed for a tube of 11 mm. The 3D-printed model is made to fit two plexiglass plates measuring 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm with a thickness of 2 mm. In Germany and the Netherlands, this can be cheaply obtained from: https://www.hornbach.nl/p/guttagliss-hobbyglas-glad-helder-250x500-ca-2mm/1477798/https://www.hornbach.de/p/hobbyglas-2x250x500-mm-glatt-klar/1477798/ I filled the formicarium with a sand-clay mixture from a reptile store. P.S. If anyone prefers different designs, let me know and I'll try to adjust them.
