Measuring 2.4x2.4x5 inches, it features advanced hydration capabilities, a unique white sand/clay mix for optimal tunneling, and secure access ports for easy maintenance. Perfect for observing the intricate behaviors of ants in a controlled environment. ## Description See Included Dirt Box Set-Up Guide For Complete InstructionsPerfect for beginner antkeepers, the Dirt Box combines a nesting area and a foraging area into a single enclosure. The Dirt Box allows your ants to create their own nest by digging tunnels and chambers so you can see the inner workings of a living ant colony with a queen (live ants are not included).Hydration: A standout feature of the Dirt Box is its unique hydration system. Water added through the top hole is stored in an inner container, soaking into a gypsum stone bottom layer before finally being absorbed into the dirt above. This one-of-a-kind system creates the perfect natural moisture gradient and reduces maintenance.Feeding, Hydration, Expansion: Easy-to-remove silicone plugs fit into strategically placed holes to allow for water and food to be easily added to the nest. Expansion holes on the side allow you to connect to another Dirt Box or foraging area using 5/16" ID vinyl tubing (not included).Ventilation: Stainless steel screen provides excellent ventilation to create a naturalistic environment.- - - - - - - - - -Choosing a Size:Dirt Boxes are available in different configurations to accommodate ants species or colonies of different sizes. SMALL boxes are suitable for small colonies, while LARGE boxes may contain much larger colonies.#mm indicates the width, in millimeters, of digging space for ants to dig tunnels. Larger ants will require at least #7 mm size, while smaller ants may use #4 mm or any of the larger sizes. Using the smallest size recommended for your ant species will allow for improved visibility of tunnels alongside the glass, while larger #mm sizes than recommended allow for larger possible colony size due to the increased digging volume. ## Features - Compact starter formicarium ant farm with advanced long-term hydration capabilities. White inner container acts as a sponge reservoir to hold and slowly release water through the bottom, creating a natural moisture gradient. - Watch ants dig on all four sides of included white sand/clay mix, specially formulated to prevent tunnel collapse. - White silicone plugs allow easy access to holes and ports used for hydration, adding food, expansion, and maintenance - Ultra-fine stainless steel mesh, fitted rubber stoppers, and seamless all-in-one construction - Product Dimensions: 2.3x2.3x5 inches. Digging area is equivalent to a 9" long traditional ant farm. 10 mm space between inside- and outside-wall is suitable for most large-size ants, greater than 10 mm in length. Smaller ants will have more room to dig and grow, but tunnel visibility may be limited due to the increased amount of space. ## Images ![Dirt Box, Natural Ant Farm, Formicarium #10 Size, White/White, Small (2.4x2.4x5 in.) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716aHY+zyJL.jpg) ![Dirt Box, Natural Ant Farm, Formicarium #10 Size, White/White, Small (2.4x2.4x5 in.) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+r50jkaBL.jpg) ![Dirt Box, Natural Ant Farm, Formicarium #10 Size, White/White, Small (2.4x2.4x5 in.) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TFLZY4AKL.jpg) ![Dirt Box, Natural Ant Farm, Formicarium #10 Size, White/White, Small (2.4x2.4x5 in.) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GW0q7MsiL.jpg) ![Dirt Box, Natural Ant Farm, Formicarium #10 Size, White/White, Small (2.4x2.4x5 in.) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Hk7tWg5dL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/119055428-dirt-box-natural-ant-farm-formicarium-10-size-white-white](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/119055428-dirt-box-natural-ant-farm-formicarium-10-size-white-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
