Building your own ant farm is a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. Ant farms are by far one of the most popular at-home animal habitats on the market today. However, sometimes there isn’t an ant farm that fits the size you need, or you may just want to have a fun craft project to do. No matter what your reason for building your own ant farm, you need to know how to do it. Building your own ant farm is extremely simple, and with several easy-to-find tools, you will be well on your way to owning a homemade ant farm.
There are several materials that you will need to have in order to build your homemade ant farm. The first thing you need to make sure you have are two different containers. Either of these containers can be smaller aquariums or even a large bottle. The first of these containers needs to be larger than the second, because you want to put the smaller container into the larger one. You will then need soil, preferably garden soil, a funnel, small garden shovel, honey, a bucket and a cotton ball. Of course, you will need to have ants. You can get ants from your front yard, but make sure that you obtain ants that are larger in size, thus making it easier...
