Messor barbarus are so tricky sometimes, dying for basically no reason. I started with eight, and after four months, only one queen has developed a small, ten worker colony. Two others remain without brood, the rest died unexpectedly.

I have a couple questions, firstly how do you hibernate them, I’ve heard you just leave them as they hibernate at room temperature? Secondly my Messor colony, almost one year old +40 workers Messor Barbarus colony’s queen stopped laying eggs, is this because of daily checkups, time of year, or temperature, it is around ~22-23c in my room, which I have turned the radiator off in to prepare my ants for hibernation before I put them in my mini fridge.

Nice vid! Really enjoyed it! The canons are cool!

So video was great and you deserve 2 likes but I can only give 1

Omg, that growth is insane! Amazing vid ❤

Finally.. let me watch the video and make sure you still got the same quality lol

I got these recently, can I ask why you gave away your old big colonies of these? did they get too big? just want to know what to expect

awesome vid! they have grown an insane amount, it really dosent feel like 9 months has gone already😂

I have a question please respond

Great update! I think i remember one of your older messors in a set up thst was premade clay like tunnels in a container in the lower half and outworld was the space above. Love your videos ❤️🐜🐜🐜

Very nice video good to see these again like they said before a 'proper" ant video 👌 i have also have 2 different messor queens both still alive ...lucky me.....nice to see a couple of your new inventions .. i like your thinking outside the regular ant box ant and come up with some original stuff 👍

emotional rollercoaster! brilliant video thanks, and your new nest idea is ace!

In the beginning you can see a queen laying a egg’

Wich nest do you think is best for messor barbarus?

So refreshing to see a proper ant video! Oh how I have missed these.

rely nice video, my messor b havent grown that fast yet probably around 50 - 60 workers. hopefully gona grow a bit faster after hibernation

Love the video

Great video! I hope to keep messor barbarus one day.

I can’t believe you know this stuff that’s so cool I’m glad other people are interested in such little creatures too. ! Thanks for the video !

Cool as shit

what do you use to keep the ants in? I have a 4 foot tank that I will do something similar with, but I want to know what is best as a barrier

mine died ):

You going to antcon25?

On Saturday or Sunday?

wow its worked great!

The amount of queens in that colony is crazy. I realise now that I had a colony like this once with 12 queens and only now I realise they were t.bicarinatum. Makes sense why there were 12 queens and so many workers

Do you still have them?

no missed it:(

is that a Cardiocondyla Obscurior worker on the black acrylic🤣2:16

Cool Video thx for youre sub 😂❤

Nice setup! Nice colony :D

ramirez is doning great! cant wait for my manica to be this big. and nice video❤

Nice video mate❤

Awesome video jake. Glad you love it. And the colony love it more importantly 😊

nice build video . 😊

Great video! Genuinely impressed by how smoothly you slid that acrylic off to clean it, mad skills there lol New nest with the Manica looks awesome too! I love the Popeth too. Pronounced pop (as pop is normally said 😅) then eth (eth is like saying deaf without the D) think it's the only one I'm close to pronouncing correctly lol Loved this video ❤🐜🐜🐜

Nice video. Hope to see more soon

I read that niger can defeat humile!

Wow!!!

Looks too good ❤❤.

This worked awesomely 😍🐜🐜🐜

wow the Mcloud clan is still going so strong 💪 well done mate .I think i will be putting my rubra into the ant con tank now it's doing well . Also my leafcutters are a bit out of control free range setting up satellite colonies in snake tubs and raiding isopod colonies who said they don't like protein 😂

Do the tetra's eat seeds or nuts? I just received a 40 worker 3q colony and am looking for tips.

i really like how you think outside the standard antkeepershop box ...1 day you will have a briljant idea and all of them try to copy it ...one day 👍

new vid yay

wow! they have absolutely BOOOOMMMMMMMMEEEEDDDDDDDDD! hopefully mine will grow to this size eventualy

Good idea, let's see how it works with this swarm !

Loved this update! They are doing insanely well! Looking forward to seeing an update on that nest too! ❤️🐜🐜🐜

What??? How big is that colony 😂😅

wow, you might be needing to add more of those soon lol
