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.
