double glazing for ant farm?

[mikejbrod]

Hi guys.

Just wondering if anyone has ever done this?
If so can anyone give me any pointers or plans?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike and welcome to the Ant Hill.

Many years ago I had an upright ant farm made for me from grooved wooden slats with glass panes. A friend of mine who was a joiner did this to my own design, but I have never tried using a double glazed window type of frame as a formicarium.

Welcome to the Ant Hill Mike    I can't see why you can't use double glazing, it beats bubblewrap or polystyrene for insulation, but still may get too cold for the ants. I have known members to use simple picture frames held together with fish tank sealant either as an upright or attached to ytong or just a tank shape.  Cutting a hole for airline might be tricky, unless you have the tools
