I keep messor barbarus too, and every time they have to move into the new nest it is really chaotic and hard to watch, so i think that behavior of your colony is maybe normal for that species
Wow i love watching your videos. I just started my own ant colony i just caught 4 queens last week its amazing how the queen works on her own i just saw my frist worker ant last night i cant believe how fast it is and how exciting it is just watching the ants move around. Thank you for Expiring me. And thank you for the videos i cant wait to watch more. ;)
Nice video! Very emotional voiceover, but allow me to reccomend the following in order to speed up moving to the new nest, just in case you don't know: light the old nest with some strong source of light, and stop hydrating it several days before; start hydrating the new nest the at the same time, cover the new nest with a piece of cloth or something, the main thing to create darkness in the new nest, put something yammy by the entrancd to the new nest. It works! Thank you for a good video! 🤘😁
When I moved my lasius niger the queen and the newborn didn't want to move. Some workers grabed the new ones and they would ever roll up to be carried or get dragged to the new nest any way. So I wouldn't really worry about seeing that. I think the problem with the move was that they didn't really feel exposed because the still where in a relativly small area. For them it was like the arena was like a big damaged nest so they didn't know what to do. Also you might think about getting another nest because they could use some extra space and they can chew through ytong if they need more space.
Thats a really good video! Your colony is looking good, the quality is really good and your commentary is seems well planned! I enjoy watching your video since I have found your channal and in my opinion you are one of the best ant - youtubers on TH-cam ^^ Maybe I am going to get a Messor colony too, because they are just adorable, fun to watch and they store seeds 😍
Messor are just so so so crazy... every time I do something in their out world they react like if it was the end of the world! I can relate to you having problems with Messor moving, in the wild the conditions must be vary bad for them to move out of their original nest, where the queen dug her first chamber
Yea, but also, in the wild where they are native, there are not taht much large animals (i think at least, you are the por lol) , so when some large animal (uss) donks into their nest, it IS the end of the world XD
aww am glad you were gental with them as i keep them to i worry about all of them lol gusse it dose not matter how small they are so i thought you took nice care of yours :) was nice to see. As a lot ON TH-cam seem to exspose of them like oh i can get a new one and they are exspendable you made sure you had them all and tried to make them as safe as possible well done.
Would have been too much suspense for me if I was there in person watching the queen getting dragged around like that. Great to see their doing better now in their new setup!
Cool! I will get my Messor Barbarus queen in next week and it is my first ant queen :D I want to know, how you will put them to hibernate? And what temperature you keep them in? Nice video!
I always have much fun because my Messors are allways trying to kill the bowl before reconyzing that there is food inside. I guess they just are like that xD
Thanks man! :) And yes, that might have been a good Idea, but then I would have to separate the colony, and from previous experiance, separating colony parts from their queen, often results in their death in just a week or so, and this queen is also from experiance, a stubborn one, so she would take week(s) to move like that. This move took 5 days i think, so yea. Thanks for opening your comment with that you like my content, compared to others who just straight out bashed me haha. Have a nice day :)
@@AntsScandinavia Du har verkligen hjälp mig så mycket. Roligt att se att du faktiskt läser allas kommentarer, det är det inte många youtubers som skulle göra
Okay so dis comment is mixed up with Roxanne okay let’s start da comment. Roxanne as a ant: *sleeps in class*. Teacher ant: can somebody wake up Roxanne? Me as a ant: Roxanne, Roxanne!
Thank you very much ^^ I won xD ahhhhh... my messor colony is living in a sand nest and they dont want to move out ;(( so i have to wait... good luck with this colony and i hope we'll see more videos of this species ^^ my setup is not made for filming so i cant make such beatiful videos, but that only make your videos better ;]]

Thanks for this considering comment
Nice 👍 my Messor Barbarus colony is a bit to small for that
My is a bit too big!
Same only a queen and 19 workers

TheWalkingBaff I agree. Commentary is quite good. I dread listening to others who drone on repeating themselves.
how lucky the winner is...
i want to have my own ant farm because of this inspiring video.
Awesome! Makes me glad to hear :)
In my opinion messor is one of the hardest species to move

Thank you so much! I keep small colony of the messor structor.
This is the funniest ant video i've seen

Profesional video !
That was stressful😂
I've always loved Messor ants! Too bad they don't live near me...
Messor barbarus can bite through ytong so be very carefull
Nice vid keep up the good work!
I am aware of that and Will be carefull, thank you m8!!
Its rare tho ive kept my messor colony in ytong for 3 years now and they are yet to bite too far yet
@@seshkingdom4713 Good to hear!! :D
SESH KINGDOM i had a messor in a plaster nest and they bit in to the water chamber and climbed out of the hole :/
I wish I read that like 5 days ago I put my colony in a ytong nest
Would have been too much suspense for me if I was there in person watching the queen getting dragged around like that. Great to see their doing better now in their new setup!
Yea dude, I didn't look most of the time XD
I would have tried a heating cable on the new nest to rise the temperature a little and make the place interesting for the ants.
i have some ants but i wanna know what seeds those are at the start?
Great video 👍🏻, what did you shoot it with? What camera? 📷
I wish I could win 😢 but yea nice vid tho
I have just got 3 queens a week ago I put them in the same test tube they al accepted each other AWESOME
Cool! I will get my Messor Barbarus queen in next week and it is my first ant queen :D I want to know, how you will put them to hibernate? And what temperature you keep them in? Nice video!
Thats awesome man! I want that species! 😭
The Ant Vlogger I’m buying this species and it’s coming from 1st June-4th june
@@zooommeme7542 how the colony doing?
@@joeden681 uhh dead :(
what barrier do you use to prevent ants from escaping?
You should have more subs thanks for your awesome videos!!
thanks for watching dude!
Can you move a colony in a nest to fast? Like does there have to be a number of workers or doesn't it matter?
My Messor Structor are vicious at chewing silicone pvc tubing. Is there tubing that are ant bite proof? 🤔
I always have much fun because my Messors are allways trying to kill the bowl before reconyzing that there is food inside.
I guess they just are like that xD
Haha, yea, they are su cute when they do that XD
What kind of sand did you use
?
dam i wish i got my hands on one of those old nests
Messor ants can chew through ytong... Great video though
I am aware of that, but thanks anyway! :)
Nice video!!!!! 👍

Big sig
what temp do you keep your messor ants at
Hello aus!
How good are Messors at climbing? Are they poor climbers like other harvester ants?
that was so stressful if that happen to my colony I would have a heart attack
just wondering but do you have any tips on catch ant queens in florida? if so it would really help because i wanna be a ant keeper
Watch my video on how to catch a queen ant, and good luck!!

Hey man i love your content but i think you should of connected a tube into the new nest then when they moved in put the old outworld into the new one

Hello
, should you always get the ants in hibernation, and if , should you water them then if they live in a y-tong nest?
yes, of course ;))
@@ricksameisen1945 Thank you, but should still you water as much as if they were not in hibernation?
@@terramind8870 I would, can't see a reason not to, but it depends on the species I guess.

hey which part of italy did you catch your queen and at what time? ill be going to italy too this summer.
Ps Love your vids!

i think you can layoff the seeds for a few months
