The queen cracked me up when the workers were trying to help her get out the tube. They made two exits and she chose the smallest one (also up higher) where she had to force her huge gaster out of! 😂

Watching an ant colonies starting stages is so satisfying

Hey! Thank you very much, I’ve taken quite a bit of inspiration from your recent ant video so I’m glad you enjoyed :) I’m using a canon 750D with a canon 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Just got some extension tubes coming in the mail too. What about you? Love your realistic natural events 🤣

Why would you need 15 queens, just a couple is enough to ensure a successful colony. Other than that great video!

Ahh great question! Well the other queens are in their own seperate tubes, so I can choose to keep those colonies, but usually I end up selling them to anyone who wants them / can’t catch a queen of their own!

I cracked up when Hava Nigila played. Are the ants Jewish? Lol

im kinda new. sooo when the queen doesnt have workers, do u feed her? and if u do, what do u feed her? 2nd question: what do u really feed the ants sometimes and always. is the chicken cooked? i mean i gave my other ant colony a cooked chicken and they didnt really like it. they only like mealworms and cockroaches

Hey man! No worries at all, I love to hear new people getting into ant keeping so good on you! There’s a few videos out there on KZread including some that I’ve made which teach you how to raise your queen ants. First things first, you’ll want to identify your queen ant, most of the time they’re claustral queens. Meaning that she has enough fat and protein stored inside her to raise her first generation of workers, this first generation will be the ones that go out and find food to further fuel and grow the colony. This means you won’t have to feed her until she gets her first workers… woohoo! If she’s semi claustral like bull ants for example, you’ll need to offer her food before and while she has any brood. My go-to food of choice is usually little insects, especially pet store crickets they go down a treat. Otherwise yes go ahead and experiment with protein rich food that you eat yourself, like chicken, mince, nuts and seeds. Ant diets vary lots between different species so don’t be discouraged if they don’t even touch anything random you give them hahaha. Ant keeping is a lot to do with trial and error. I hope this was helpful, thanks for asking dude!

Ahhh that’s a shame man sorry to hear that. Don’t feel alone though, this happens all the time in ant keeping, very unfortunate man! I usually pull the crickets apart before feeding my ants, especially smaller species, since they’ll get hurt if not
