So I have been planning to do one of those outworlds that has a formicarium inside of it. Y'know? Anyhow. I want to make the formicarium out of grout. And the surface of the outworld out of soil. But I want to make sure my ants don't dig in the soil. Any suggestion on how to keep them from digging in the soil? Here is a picture of what kind of Formicarium-in-Outworld looks like just in case you don't know.

BUT WAIT! that's NOT ALL! I know you are looking at this and thinking "Well there's your anwser, just make a thin layer of soil above the grout" well I can't use too much grout because it is expensive BUT. I can use a decent amount to make like 2-3 inches think of grout. so enough to make decently sized tunnels. But I still have a decent amount of space inside the rest of the outworld. Any ideas?

Make a 4x4 formicarium and silicone it to the front of an outworld like the tha fortress formicarium. Also, where did you find that formicarium in the picture?


Hit "Like This" if it helped.

I don't want to glue it to the front. I want it inside. Well. I think I got a solution anyway, Maybe I will place the formicarium inside. And for the rest of the space in the outworld I will put like a brick. And at the very top I will add a thin layer of soil. Thanks though!
