Choosing the right substrate is crucial for a successful ant farm! The substrate not only provides a habitat but also helps maintain humidity and temperature, which are essential for the ants’ well-being. Common substrates include sand, soil, and coconut fiber, each offering unique benefits. Sand is great for species that dig, while coconut fiber retains moisture well.
