Gypsum formicariums

Gypsum farms hold moisture well and suit most ant species.

Why gypsum

Gypsum absorbs water and releases it slowly into the chambers, making stable humidity easy to maintain. Ants feel at home in them because the material resembles natural soil.

What to watch for

  • Moisten in moderation, as constant over-wetting leads to mould.
  • Some large species, such as big harvester ants, can gradually chew through gypsum.
  • Keep part of the nest dry as a granary for harvester ants.
