I have these they are beautiful looking forward to getting some lovely majors. I wish mine would eat crickets, roaches or fruit flies but they only eat mealworms for now. Love ur vids
Ik krijg deze kolonie ook van een vriend. Hij wil ze graag eerst een mooie start geven voordat ik ze krijg. Maar met deze video hoop ik dat ze snel groeien.
I've just got a queen with her first workers. The test tube it came it was quite small so I've put the tube open in a box so I can put the food in the box. Will this bother the queen? I'm trying not to look at her but really want to know if her brood and nantics are OK.
As long as you make sure the temperatures are stable, and the vibrations are minimal you should be good. Brood development will be slow, since hibernation is around the corner. Try to be patient upcoming months, and you'll have a beautifull colony next year!
@@CamponicoAnts Great. Unfortunately my bedroom is the warmest room so that's where they are currently. There tucked inside a drawer and it's mostly pretty quiet in hereJust noticed this morning that the workers have moved the brood out of the test tube. Odd but I guess they know best.
Its a speck of sand glued to her body due to juices or sugar.. watching the clip while editing scared me.. so I checked the entire colony... Thank you for letting me know! Appreciate it! ❤
Queen is claustral, and since she ate her brood she has the proteine she needs.. all I gave her was a little bit of sugar, and repeat the process every 3 weeks. So a little bit of proteine, and a drop of sugar.. larvae needs proteine! Good luck man!
Yay, i also have a camponotus cruentatus colony. I've had for over 1 year and they have about 60 workers but no Major/ media workers, why is this? I feed them as much protein as they take.
@@englishfishkeeper2007 u probably don't have the real 'auriventris' as the real auriventris r sold as camponotus chinensis. If u bought camponotus auriventris u probably got a look alike like parius
80% of the colonies I have are completely exposed to lights, and ik having no problems at all. Currently testing 2 of the same colonies. One in the light, and one in the dark
I feed my crickets meat protein, so they don’t cannibalize each other ☝️ Crickets are omnivores, so they’ll cannibalize each other if not provided meat protein 😤
Wauw, prachtige kolonie man. Goede vids maak je💪
Dankjewel man ❤ waardeer ik! :D
Great video and image quality!
Thanks for the compliments! ❤

It's silly how picky some ants can be! Just be patient... cruentatus is worth the wait!

Ze lekker de tijd geven, en niet teveel gluren. Dan gaat het vast en zeker goedkomen!
BOOTIES
pretty sure its a grasshopper, not a cricket :P
Hahah bootay❤
And you are correct... it's a grasshopper 🤣
Yeeaaaah

Superbe colonie
Merci!
Mite on back of major at 1:40 ? I'm not certain but I'm not sure what else it could be.

@@CamponicoAnts you're welcome! So glad it's nothing to worry about!
Great colony and vid.
Where'd you buy the outworld?
I make my own outworlds using fauna boxes (there is a video of it on my YT)
When you said put her away in the dark for several weeks were you still feeding ? and how often ? beautiful footage btw .

@@CamponicoAnts Thanks for that i have a queen in the same situation so now i know it's safe to leave her for longer .
Just got my queen today. She came with 1 nanitic and 5 eggs. So I guess it will be a very slow process :D
It's a very slow process indeed, but ij my opinion absolutely worth the wait!
The majors are so beautifull!
Yay, i also have a camponotus cruentatus colony. I've had for over 1 year and they have about 60 workers but no Major/ media workers, why is this? I feed them as much protein as they take.
They did just came out of hibernation and have A lot of cocoons but no major cocoon
Also, your camponotus Dolendus look identical to my camponotus Cf quriventris
Auriventris, dolendus and cinctellus are lookalikes! :D still not sure what the differences are
Not sure why my colony produced majors so early.. hoping that your colony will get some this summer!

Dont’ you cover your tubes ?

@@CamponicoAnts really interesting

Wow.. that's something I'm going to try next time when I'm purchasing crickets!
Will they eat morioworm?
