Simplest solution is to raise the section for feeding the ants by putting some books or magazines under it until it’s almost level with the other section, then gently separate them until the clear hose is nearly straight. Now the ants should easily be able to get from one section to another. Happy ants. 😊

Yeah I don’t see them used as often as other nests. I’d assume you did everything right as some species might not like the feel of the digfix material. The ANTCUBE Camponotus and Messor colonies seem to like the material so I guess it’s a little species dependent.

@senseiwu7814

First of all, let's not compare ant setups to reptile enclosures. They are completely different animals with different needs and requirements. And as for the price, again, it's all about convenience and quality. Yes, you can probably find a cheaper setup somewhere else, but is it going to be the same quality? Is it going to have the same features? Is it going to last as long? It's up to the buyer to decide if they want to spend a little extra for a product that they know is going to be good. As for the tubing being slippery, I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but I've personally used this setup and have never had any issues with the ants slipping. It's made specifically for them and their needs, so I highly doubt that it's a design flaw. But everyone has their own opinions and experiences, so I respect yours as well.

Your actually very wrong a tank for an adult male ball python costs 400$+ not including the 200$+ for the snake depending on albino or not😊

We shouldn’t be comparing ant farms to reptile enclosures. Ants are insects, reptiles are animals. While they are both creatures, reptiles and ants have far different needs, enclosure sizes, humidity and temperature levels, etc. which may be hard to maintain if you kept ants in a glass or wired reptiles cage. Ants are better off in thinner enclosures, which are deeper in depth. They need this to make nests, it’s essential. However some reptiles will need a taller enclosure for climbing or hiding. Other like tortoises for example might need thick substrate to Brumate and bury themselves. Thanks for your time

the ants: *steve do you know why we're in this flat world*

As a german person, I know that Carebara Diversa do well in the Antstore Germany nests (AntCube)

You could have just put the outworld on a small stand to even the height difference a bit.

I don’t know why but my family kinda hate ants but I love them when their not crawling on me

If the tube was left at the original length you could probably flatten the climb by twisting it into a 360 degree spiral and move the cases closer together .

This is so obviously an ad it's hurting my brain lmao

this has inspired me to build an ant farm in roblox. not exactly ants inside, just normal people. thanks for the inspiration man! :D

Wow a sand ant farm i known it's cool but if you need your ants to dig faster try with plants and cocofiber

Ants can get used to light and not get stressed from it.

Elevating the shorter enclosure would alleviate the climbing difficulty within the tube.

did you think to elevate the forage box ? set in on something to get the tube more "climbable" ?

@KINGK20092009

Жыл бұрын

I had the same thought as they'd have no problems with a leveled off tube

Very Interesting

A jar inside of a jar works extremely well. (Save your utz's cheese ball containers!) You put their food (sugar) and water on top of the cap of the inside jar. And poke pin holes in the lid of the big jar.

I’d just raise up the smaller box up so the tubing was flat so any species could go back and forth

What kind of sand is it? Seems so clean.

imagine raising the feeding area up a bit so there would be no stipe for them to struggle with

I got the same thin ant farm for just 12 bucks

4:10 you could of also elevated the foraging area so the tubing was straight, ya know.

Since installing the Ant Cube ant farm in my living room women have been FLOCKING to my apartment non-stop. Highly recommended.

It looo like a snail at the end

You could have saved so much time by raising the glass enclosure with a wooden box to make the tube level with the farm

there so cute 🤗

I got the dig fix insert.....It did not last long with Solenopsis Geminata at all........

Awsome

im neither an ant expert nor a rocket scientist but wouldn't it make it easier for the ants to climb the tube if you where to raise the "outworld" area by a couple inches using any sort of spacer/stand? Something like a single wooden drawer(desk organizer) will probably lift it enough and will give you some decent storage while remaining aesthetic.

For some reason I have a strange obsession over ants... At home, There is an ant nest outside, I didn't know at first but, I accidentally dug up their mest and saw ant eggs. The ants were running all over the place! I would love to get an ant farm, but, I don't even have $300! But When its my next birthday Im getting an ant farm.

Put a box under the other box and make the tube level

Would you test antscanada gear??

i have a question what if we catch queen ant with her eggs will she take caro of them or should i throw the eggs out

Bro, you have such an amazing camera! It focuses so good like a microscope ❤😂

You should put books below our world so it levels out the tube.

@LightsCameraAnts

There’s at least a few places within the nest for hydration. You can use the two ports towards the bottom sides of the nest or the expansion port at the top side. The ants can also get their water from outside the nest if you use the feeders given to store water instead of just sugars.

I decided to draw the rainbow for and at my drawing skills

Why didn’t you just lift up the box on the left?
