YUUUSS the comeback is happening now. Miss the other variations from AusAnts, hope you’ll cover more videos like this soon! Bestest of luck with the future nests. Excited to see how they turn out!
Did my guy just say darastically at 2:39😂. Other than that, great video! Glad someone is brave enough to take some heat. Btw why you have to flex on us like that with the new set up 😪
Ant Australia still do custom nests, they will make custom nests with logos for a youtube channel or something, and also for specific colony sizes or species.
Well for the small mushroom nest I have to say,my messor barbarus queen passed through the small vinyl tubing many times,yes it's a bit tight but she can go through it
I bought this mushroom nest aswell, the entrance problem is fixed when you buy the extra layer, you get a new entrance hole with that purchase with is suitable for normal tubing
You make fair points, but I have to disagree. I bought a lot of nests from all kinds of places to check quality etc. There are so many options, so many variants en a lot of them are good and affordable. In your video you say I exclude other websites, but to my option those other websites is what makes up for the ant market. For a species so "hard" to keep the internet provides us with a lot of options. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But to my opinion the ant keeping market is at a really good spot right now and will only become better. However your idea on building nests with "waiste" products is a really nice thought. And I would be honored to showcase one of them on my channel if you ever put them in production.
yes i totally agree. AKD has there motto "if its not on here then it probably shouldn't exist" this fact is what i think can change. there are lots of amazing nest providers that are unrecognized for there nests. i have also had great experiences with outside websites as well. i'm mostly focusing on AKD because it is the most widely promoted website ATM. hopefully that makes sense :)
well i cant really give an opinion as the last stuff i bought was over 3 years ago. seeing his new stuff tho they look much better then before. still a good nest provider :)
I'm just a begginer and haven't even caught my first queen yet, and I've been doing loads of research on ant-keeping, especially when it comes to nest/formicarium options. I personally like a lot of the options on the market today, and the nests from Tar Heel Ants and Ants Australia are some best from what I've read. I think the issue with some of these options is the pricing; of course products that are higher in quality and take more time to make will inevitably cost more, but I kinda feel like part of the fun in the ant hobby is that most of it is free, or at least very low cost. The ants themselves, the food, basic equipment, and easy diy nests are either free to acquire or cost very little. And while there are some very nice and well-made formicariums out there for sale, I've seen many that are sold at triple digit prices online. Despite the fact that you could just as easily achieve functional ant housing from a plastic container, some dirt, and some tubing, it seems that formicariums and even tiny founding chambers are being sold for far too much nowadays. I'm not saying that sellers shouldn't be making profit from selling formicariums, but I know that seeing high prietags on equipment and nescesary supplies can be discouraging, especially for begginers. I belive there's certainly a place for those higher-grade, expensive formicariums, but I wish there were more inexpensive options more readily avaliable on the market. Speaking of, it's been 2 years. Any update on your own line of formicariums.
Agree, I just make my own nests, it isn’t too hard, a block of ytong costs $6 at bunnings and acrylic is cheap on ebay. It is way cheaper that buying nest and you can customise them to suit your needs.
Ant Keeping Depot are also known to delete low-rated reviews on their products. Try it if you've bought any of their products. 1 or 2-star reviews won't even be published. 3 star reviews which are critical of a product will get deleted by the guy who runs AKD.
@@AntsManitoba oh they're very helpful and friendly. But they are pretty ruthless about their reviews. I think the worst thing is they recently sent an email out to everyone requesting bullants so they could sell them on to other customers. Pretty sure they're only licenced to sell ants caught on their property.
Here in the UK we have a firm that does all the things you want and sells good quality nests which you can bulk buy, why are you restricting yourself to ant keeping depot? others sellers and producers do exist.
Yes this video is focused on just the AKD. It’s one of the most highly promoted websites and I am just discussing what could change/help with people starting. People without knowledge of these other websites
Ants Manitoba I agree, hopefully we get some ant market updates!! Also I found another problem, any keeping depots "Bull Ant Castle" smallest size is too small for a lot of bull ant species to fit in. So that's quite a problem.
You're in canada??? And are going making good acrylic nests??? All of the things in my checklist is checked. Just please don't make them to over priced!
Just talking about your pc for now you got a lot of expensive peripheral and overpriced ram but the CPU and the GPU should have been prioritized more imo but anyways you bought it already so that doesnt matters
Hope you guys enjoyed this short video, I just wanted to share my thoughts and there will be more on the way I PROMISE :)

I bought a starter kit in November 2021 and I haven't received it, online stores are dangerous sometimes
No way. Mabye shoot them an email that’s very unusual
Well for the small mushroom nest I have to say,my messor barbarus queen passed through the small vinyl tubing many times,yes it's a bit tight but she can go through it
Interesting 🧐
Yeah,ants can squeeze through tiny places
Been waiting for this vid for a while! That’s a sick rig btw, that 2060 is quite the powerful card!
:)
I bought this mushroom nest aswell, the entrance problem is fixed when you buy the extra layer, you get a new entrance hole with that purchase with is suitable for normal tubing
Ruben Reinhard interesting. Any idea why this doesn’t come normally?
Holy these are ancient ant nest designs

There are a lot of ant nest sellers in Europe that are high quality and affordable.
Yea this video was based off of acrylic nest that are just on the AKD sorry for lack of clarification 👌🏻
Nice video mate. I’ve got the same problem!! I need some bulk smaller nests!!!
Agree, I just make my own nests, it isn’t too hard, a block of ytong costs $6 at bunnings and acrylic is cheap on ebay. It is way cheaper that buying nest and you can customise them to suit your needs.
keep it up!
Thanks :)
Our samurai has awakend

I’m also from Manitoba and recently found a Camponotus Novaeboracensis queen. She just laid eggs!
Can I buy this on the Philippines
Today is a good day:)
:)
Dude Your Back!!!
Creepy Gallery heck yea!!!
@@AntsManitoba Good to see.
Creepy Gallery thanks :)
you can i believe bulk buy nests from Ant Shop Australia because they do ytong and acrylic nests, still good video and i do agree with you :)
Yeah, it’s not just the variety and tubing, I think the price is a bit to high...
yeah I can agree there
Nice but there are much more shops & nests.
Yea fs the reason I did this on the AKD is because it’s the most highly promoted website and is the site new comers will most likely find first
I love the channel
Thanks man :)
Ants Manitoba do you know how to find good ants cause im only catching argentine ants and no California camponatus ants

Well lad nice vid
I wish these sellers would share how to get the permits to se species is yea for being money hungry

I bought the anthouse acrylic mushroom starter kit so i wasted 30 dollars ;-; so sad.
I wouldn’t say a waste, it just makes things harder :/
@@AntsManitoba Yeah thats what i meant, I've used it before unsuccessfully
Tdubywuby Gaming ahh I see, hopefully they make improvements 👌🏻
Ants Manitoba I agree, hopefully we get some ant market updates!! Also I found another problem, any keeping depots "Bull Ant Castle" smallest size is too small for a lot of bull ant species to fit in. So that's quite a problem.
I’m working on some of my own rn with the main goal to create affordable nests 🤭
What about AntKit, Auntie jans ant shop, and AntsRussia they all make acrylic nests! Otherwise great video!
You're in canada??? And are going making good acrylic nests??? All of the things in my checklist is checked. Just please don't make them to over priced!
Matthew Kim the whole idea is to fix that issue :)
@@AntsManitoba thanks man your the best.
Just talking about your pc for now you got a lot of expensive peripheral and overpriced ram but the CPU and the GPU should have been prioritized more imo but anyways you bought it already so that doesnt matters
I might upgrade my gpu in the future and idk. It’s insanely fast as is :D
