Digfix Formicaria – Natural Digging Nests for Ants
Category: Digfix Formicaria
Digfix formicaria are designed with a special substrate that allows ants to dig and build their own chambers. This creates a naturalistic habitat that mimics soil conditions while still giving keepers the ability to observe their colony’s activity.
They provide enrichment, encourage natural behavior, and are a great choice for species that thrive in soil-like environments.
Why Choose Digfix Formicaria
- Natural behavior – ants create their own tunnels and chambers, just like in nature.
- Realistic environment – promotes colony health and natural instincts.
- Observation – clear covers let you watch ants build and expand underground structures.
- Versatility – suitable for many soil-dwelling species.
Tips for Using Digfix Formicaria
- Moisten the substrate lightly to make digging easier for ants.
- Use smaller setups for young colonies, then expand as they grow.
- Do not overwater – excess moisture can collapse tunnels or cause mold.
- Always connect an outworld for feeding and waste disposal.
