3:18 Great video! btw the best method to make ants move out is simply water, attach the formicarium and place something that SLOWLY drips water, they will instinctively move out while it starts flooding, this is especially efficient for colonies that made their nest in soil like yours.
The "best ant farm" to me really varies by species. For sone, such as my harvester ants, a sinple box full of dirt is a better enclosure than pre-made formicariums like this.
I think he means display formicariums. These really are the best for non wood dwelling ants because you can have species tailored ones and customize the humidity yourself.
I personally think that the best nests are made by hightechants because they not only have a humidity sensor which is not very common among ant nests but their build quality is second to none.
@@zachutchinson1995 Unfortunately not, it's a UK based shop, but I think you can buy them still but shipping could cost a lot. You should definitely keep a look out for other retailers though because they are definitely amazing setups. Hope that helps!!
I had two ant colonize and all the ants escaped went to the bathroom and there were two ant colonize just chilling years later we moved no one else new were they lived
Finally an ant channel that isn't ants Canada. I can't stand that guy. Thanks for keeping your videos interesting and to the point without 45 minutes of filler, fake drama, shameless self promotion, patronizing tones, or pompous mediocrity. Wish I could find more ant channels like you.
good vide i have just gotten my first ant queen with 4 workers and a few brood camptonotos mini nigraceps its very cold in victoria atm she has not layed any new eggs and they dont seem to want to eat honey or meal worms
Das beste Nest graben sie sich immer noch selber (bis auf wenige Ausnahmen), nur kann man ins Erdnest leider nicht reinsehen… Aber die Ameisen lieben es ❤❤❤
im currently planning to get funnel ants but im not sure about the care for them can you give me some tips? as i am currently a beginner and when i said currently i got auto corrected to cumlord okk….
nice one completely demolishing their nest and dumping them into a new container while simultaneously talking about ants being sensitive to stress. you sir are a pathetic ant keeper. this is not how you move a colony to a new home
In my opinion I’d say these types of ant nets aren’t the best, ants really like to dig in their nest so I’d recommend putting dirt inside of it so the ants can dig in it

Yeah but can you still watch the colony then except for the ones on the outside? (sorry im verry new and dont know much yet)

Without a doubt my favorite nest so far!
Hey!
I think so too!
The Wakooshi Saturn nest is my favourite ant farm, but these do look very cool. I will definitely test these out in the future, great video man 👍
I have seen a few wakooshi nests that look amazing… is there any retailer in aus that sell them ?

That's the only reason why I haven't tried them yet. They do look pretty neat!
Nice to know I’m not the only UA-camr in Australia.
I got a few of their smaller nests , they are well made for sure!
From where you get nest ?
estheticants.com
i just got a sugar ant colony like yours last night. how long does it take for them to feel comfortable to go into their new outworld and hunt?
you put Aesthetic Ants in ur description, he is called Esthetic ants :D
really nice video, already looking forward to the next one
Auto correct! That’s how it’s spelt in English
i had a ant farm and the queen almost escaped and i shutted it but the queens head was in the way so the queens head came off...
Sounds like Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution if you know what I mean 😉
Oh my god
Did it die? Cause sometimes it can have a mutation where it grows back 2 heads
Uh that's terrible :/
if she died it would be sad :\/
Glorious
My man is back I love your videos a congratulations on 4K Subs!!!

@@TheAntKeeper all good man
I had two ant colonize and all the ants escaped went to the bathroom and there were two ant colonize just chilling years later we moved no one else new were they lived

I'm glad you like my content :D
Do you have a discord server? I would love to join!
Do the ant farms on the website only ship to the uk because I’m in America

Try varying the food to something different or moving her to a warmer area if it's cold where you keep her. If it's warm than make it a bit colder.
I would try and put the setup your using close to some sort of heat source, it works every time for me!
Awesome video!

I agree 100%
I have a large carebara diversa colony. If I put them in a ytong nest my house will be overrun since that species can chew threw ytong
Yeah that would not be fun to fix!!
Where can i buy a outworld for the Ytong nest?
antastic.com.au/ here mate
who needs to buy ants in Australia when you can catch them in your own backyard
im currently planning to get funnel ants but im not sure about the care for them can you give me some tips? as i am currently a beginner and when i said currently i got auto corrected to cumlord okk….
Loving the content keep it up
Where did you get your queen
When you catch a queen ant how often do you feed it.
Once it has workers once to twice a week.
were can you get this
What variety is this?
Ur back😭
How are you keeping the nest dark dose it come with a red cover?
Hey, I didn’t get a red shield. Instead I made a cover with aluminium foil. It’s been working really well since then too
I got ant killer add before this video
Will you be posting again it’s been a year
I love how AK has 4.7k subs

What a great video!

Glad you enjoyed!
Hi I just caught a queen ant but I have one problem, how do I know if my queen ant is colosteral/semi-colosteral or not
Join my discord and post it on the general thread, someone will know what is it and I'm sure will be more than happy to help!
@@TheAntKeeperi was about to ask a similar question ill go have a check aswell thanks
Great video enjoyed it immensely Thank you for the review as been thinking of trying these nests
Thank you for your comment. I'm please to hear that Mate!
I can’t find the description

Good question! Next question please!

Ugh!
@@TheAntKeeper lol
nice one
completely demolishing their nest and dumping them into a new container while simultaneously talking about ants being sensitive to stress.
you sir are a pathetic ant keeper. this is not how you move a colony to a new home
“It’s almost like they have mini-heart attacks”
*so anyways, I started spoonin’*
You did poor job . The info wasn't complete and for a beginner like me I didn't get what happened. But I like your ants
What? He did a great job. Also if you think you're going to pull everything you need from just one video, boooo
@recycledfelines I watched few videos of him. And all same. And that's my opinion.
In my opinion I’d say these types of ant nets aren’t the best, ants really like to dig in their nest so I’d recommend putting dirt inside of it so the ants can dig in it
It’s more ant friendly
Please upload more 😢😢
