nice video i want to see componotus ants as they r big in size and lot easier too see there actions next componotus journey plus they much more cleaner then them
Hi. Have you ever made a DIY antnest in a way you do (with plaster and sand), but you leave sand in and let ants dig it themselves? It seems that in this way you could be able to make a big nest, let ants in and they should dig only as much of nest as they need. If colony gets bigger, they will dig more and more. And tunnels in the end will be in the way you planned them (near glass). Why im asking, is that I would like to make antworld in glass aquarium seeable all four sides. But if I need to take plaster out to clean the sand, moving plaater will make scratches on glass. Idea is that the bottom 5-7cm would be nest and on top will be outworld.
Yes buddy I've done it a lot on my early days of ant keeping, we have a video here on the channel where I did do it using cement though on this vid. th-cam.com/video/sZM9IVvWuNQ/w-d-xo.html Just a downside of this is you can't guarantee a clear view, sometimes ants don't clear the sand on the glass that much.
I love your videos and I would love to ask you a question, which I don't know if it would be very daring, but could you tell me how you get that loose brown texture color when you introduce it into the anthill with the plaster. Greetings and thank you very much, keep up the good work, I love your videos.
You mean on the cup ant farm, or the new flat nest buddy? If you mean the flat one, you can check it here, I use the same mixture on this build below. th-cam.com/video/7NMFuaDvQMg/w-d-xo.html
your diy skills r next level contine this thing in future I apreciate that plz feature some componotus genus ants too if currently dont have them ? so nutial flight is coming so just catch tons of componotus ants queen its my humble request I want to see them in ur care ,commentary and in ur channel and what to see there journey like this one
I should have at least 2, 2 years old colony now buddy, but I gifted the camponotus albosparsus I have featured on the channel previously buddy. We'll try our best to get some next month if rain come hopefully.
Check out my testube alternative videos buddy, they're like the size of sauce cups of pizza on my area, don't have an idea how it looks like in your area though. 🙏
I would really like to see a video about how to build a formicarium without using sand or grout because I don't know where I can find grout or sand because there are no shops like that near my location Plz comment if you can do this because a nuptial flight might be happening soon in my location 😊
Ok But do I add some cotton wool soaked in sugar water for the queen to feed from or do I not add anything else but moist soil in a tub with pinholes in it
I want to give you a dare There is that send 5 and into other colony with queen and send it again and again how they react it will be a science project 👇🏻 Who support me 🙏🏻
Love your Videos, I Allways look forward to the Next One! Thank you!
Glad you like them buddy! We'll do my best! 🫡
ive been watching your channel for a long time, since the first day. Man u keep going! love ya man.
Your a Legend buddy! I appreciate the support a lot 🙏🫡
Really interesting how the queen decided to keep her wings. Kinda helps to see her in the mass of ants.
Yes buddy, it's rare for this specie to shed wings.
Great video buddy!
Glad you liked it buddy! 🙏
Yes I want to see the build
I always loved ants since A Bug's Life and Ant Bully can't wait to play Empire of Ants
I remember seeing those movies too buddy! Time really flies. 🙏
@@Dcolony Yeah but we still can watch them like old days🙂
Am i the only one who want to see the build of this colonies snt farm?
😁 haven't film the build buddy since I rush it for another colony before, but if we got enough request will make a new one.
Are you using just regular tile grout? Where do you buy those little water towers?
Yes buddy, I made those water towers, we have a short vid on how to make them check it out.
hey im new to the channel great vid question what is the best starting colony?
Depends buddy but definitely tetramorium for me.
These videos inspire me to make some nest. I am very thankful you are around.
Glad to be of any help buddy. 🙏
Спасибо, всегда очень рад, когда выходит видео на вашем канале. Очень интересная история. С нетерпением жду продолжения.
Thanks so much buddy, I appreciate the support a lot! 🙏
Beauties😍😍😍

for the new nest, what were the two rectangular containers you used?
Acrylic cake containers buddy. We got a couple of other builds with them recently.
@@Dcolony Thanks!

Love your videos! And yes I would like to see the build 😃
Only 2 request for now buddy, filming might get delayed but we'll surely try it soon.
Always a joy to watch buddy!
Glad you enjoyed it buddy! Thanks! 🫡
what is advised to be placed in the outworld feeders?
Yes buddy, they mainly used for feeding.
@@Dcolony what liquid should it be filled with?
There should always be a water source available for the colony buddy. And sugar water, honey for carbs source once in a while.
How do i get rid of lizards
Im trying to get rid of like a whole nest of lizards before this year's nuptial flights so i can catch some queen ants
No idea buddy, don't have experience on it.

Nice vids as always!🎉❤
Glad you like them buddy! 🙏
I ALWAYS force move my colonies my tipping them in to another nest. It has had no negative effects to my colonies.
This guys we're crazy fast buddy, tipping would be hard as they're grip hold is extremely tight as well.
your diy skills r next level contine this thing in future I apreciate that
plz feature some componotus genus ants too if currently dont have them ? so nutial flight is coming so just catch tons of componotus ants queen its my humble request I want to see them in ur care ,commentary and in ur channel and what to see there journey like this one

Challange :make a sauce box (you know the small pizza/fast food restaurant ones )ant farm
Preferably for small/tiny ants
Thank you in advance!🐜
Check out my testube alternative videos buddy, they're like the size of sauce cups of pizza on my area, don't have an idea how it looks like in your area though. 🙏
@@Dcolony Sure! I will see how can i modify it
were you ever able to locate the other queen?
Not yet buddy, will try on my off.
one of my favorite channels
Thanks a lot buddy Appreciate it! 🫡
i dare you to make a diy ant farm with household items
Nice idea buddy, let's see. Let's see!
Smol ants! My colony is sworn enemy to any of the dirty smols...
😁
where are you from buddy? btw love ur videos.
From Philippines buddy, thanks so much!
❤happy birthday
Thanks for coming buddy! 🙏
@@Dcolony no problem i will always come for the best
We need a self feeding ant farm livestream
Nice idea buddy, we'll do that after the voice reveal since I don't like the live stream to be voiceless 😁
I want to give you a dare
Build a colony build another colony and the colony number b fight with colony number a
We have a video like that on the channel buddy, check it out .
I would really like to see a video about how to build a formicarium without using sand or grout because I don't know where I can find grout or sand because there are no shops like that near my location
Plz comment if you can do this because a nuptial flight might be happening soon in my location 😊
Just use tubs and tubes buddy, or fill any container with soil for a simple formicarium.
Oh ok
Thanks
Edit: however... do I leave the lid on the container
Yes punch some pin holes too for ventilation. Just moist the soil buddy not wet and you'll be good.
Ok
But do I add some cotton wool soaked in sugar water for the queen to feed from or do I not add anything else but moist soil in a tub with pinholes in it
If you have a claustral queen no need to feed her buddy until the first batch of workers arrive, if semi claustral feed her every 3 or 4 days.
Vote for only test tube colony no container
Hi guys
Hello buddy!
I want to give you a dare
There is that send 5 and into other colony with queen and send it again and again how they react it will be a science project
👇🏻 Who support me 🙏🏻
