Thank you all guys! I really enjoy making these videos for you. Your overwhelming support gives me the energy for ideas, filming, scripts and cutting. Every video is a lot of work, but it's totally worth it. Ant keeping forever ;D
Beautiful!!! I love it! 😍😍 I was actually planning on making a nest like this, with holes on both sides!! But you did it super well, if I make one that looks kinda like this, I will be sure to refer to you sinse you where the first one to publish 😊 And also, I decided to get a messor colony because of you :D They are so cool!
Honestly, I've never thought about naming the colony. Messor colony is their name ;D Maybe I'm starting some pools after the winter, or when they have their first anniversary. Do you have any suggestions?
i discovered your chanel today and i really liked it, i am looking forward my two messor queens to lay eggs and make a nice nest like this one for them :D
Nah, didn't shield it. As long as your ants dont need more space they shouldn't bite through the ytong. Also it's not like from one day to the other, they need time to get through ytong.
Did some research on this and there are actually some companies (Hebel for expample) which produce Ytong in the states. But they only sell in large amounts when your building a house or something like that. I've also read Ytong is like forbidden in the US. There are also some companies in Canada. Liteblok and Litebuilt. But I think they also would only sell in large amounts. The smallest amount to order from China would be one 20ft container completely full with ytong. To buy just a single block of ytong in a hardware store is more an European thing.. never thought it would be so hard in the 21th century to buy a Ytong block the US. That's really fucking me up. You can order a LED from china for less than one dollar but there is no chance in getting ytong. wtf :D
I did a research during last few days. AAC blocks is still hard to find in the US except few locations. It is not prohibited in the US, I found few companies who provide large scale sale for buildings/construction. Aercon for instance Florida based company who makes AAC blocks/panels. Since regular gypsum is easy for ants to grind, mixing sand, gypsum and cement which can be found in any Lowe's/Home Depot store will result a strong aerated material. It also will give you an option to make your form of desire without craving.
Wenn du weiterhin aktiv so gute Videos machst, wirst du locker einer der großen YTber. Mach am besten noch einen deutschen Kanal und lad die gleichen Videos auf deutsch hoch.
Danke! Ich habe tatsächlich schon mit dem Gedanken gespielt noch einen deutschen Kanal aufzumachen. Mal schauen, vielleicht Anfang nächsten Jahres.. :)
Question: If you have a small colony but you have a big nest like this. (Becaus a small colony does not need a big home and maybe they will lay their trash inside the nest) Can you fill some chamber full with sand so they need to dig it out first before they can use those chamber?
Thank you! I am gonna try it out. Becaus I like too see ant "building" their homes. Also love it when they are at work with construction. With a nest like that there is less too work on. That is why I hoped this could be dont. Danke für eure Hilfe. Grüße aus den Niederlanden.
Been searching ebay for the clay powder but can't seem to find the right stuff can you tell us exactly what its called. closest i have found is.... Calcium Bentonite Clay Powder
If you're from the UK you can probably order the same like me: ebay.eu/2mLFpEq I've just searched for "clay" on ebay and the first on was right, I guess Germany is a good place to live if you need ytong or clay :D
Hey. Nice nest. Looks great. Are you come from Germany? Your accent sounds like like german. I come from Hamburg in Germany. I like your channel. Greetings Alex
Thank you! I cut it with a utility knife in both sides, after that, I crack the acrylic. A video can explain better ruclips.net/video/AsBrJRNvdyA/видео.html He only cuts one side, but its way easier to crack if you cut both sides.
I have no experience with australian ants but generell keep them at a dark warm spot, give her rest for 1 or 2 weeks and she should lay some eggs. Check out Ants Australia community, someone there should know this species
yeah, that's way too long. Try feeding her some proteins, small flies for example and some sugar water or honey. Is the queen bought or caught by you? In the worst cased she is not fertilized.
That's not good, sounds like a not fertilized queen. But like I have mentioned I have absolutely no experience with this species, maybe there is something special you need to know for founding.
I live in the the U.S and I can't find it here. How could I make my own with out ytong? I have a 55 gallon acrylic tank I want to convert but idk how to build the tunnels without ytong
Amazing Ants lol yeah I had it as an aquarium but I don't trust it to hold water. And I'm thinking of cutting a holeninto my room wall opening it into my closet and fitting it in with a shelf. And plaster will work the similar to ytong?
yeah, it must be really thick acrylic to hold the pressure of water. I've never did a plaster nest before, but there are many people who made plaster nests. just google for it
Amazing Ants yeah I had it as an aquarium but when I moved it's taken to much heat changed and kinda afraid to put water ball in it. Ima just make the face and the rest out of foam as a spacer and the top of plaster with a little sand to make an out world

Looks like Amazing Ants made an Amazing Nest ;)
Super clean! It was time for somebody to make a tower formicarium DIY :D Your so good at tutorials.
Thank you :) Nevertheless, I'd rather have your 2 Meter Vivarium instead of a Ytong tower nest, that really blew my mind ;D
Great work

Haha, thank you ant mate! :D Nice you also get some Messor ants. I'm really looking forward for your Messor videos :)
Haha, thanks m8, ye when I get em I will do an unboxing i think ;) btw, why dont you name you barbarus colony?
🤔
Honestly, I've never thought about naming the colony. Messor colony is their name ;D
Maybe I'm starting some pools after the winter, or when they have their first anniversary. Do you have any suggestions?
well, not as for now. But I will comment if I do ;) I mean it would be cool if the name was connected to either their behaviour or maybie their nests.
I enjoy watching you make a nest out of ytong, my only problem is you can’t fine ytong where I live. But I keep looking for it
Thanks mate! Where do you live? It seems some people here at this channel have problems finding ytong
If you are in the US it is impossible
Wow. Amazing footage and nest. Couldn’t say anything better than wow. Awesome job.
This is actually the first video I ever watched on ant keeping
4 years later I have a Messor queen with a small brood pile 😁
i discovered your chanel today and i really liked it, i am looking forward my two messor queens to lay eggs and make a nice nest like this one for them :D
love it
i need to get my hands on some aac so i can make something like this
Hello, Great nest ! But a question bothering me, the Messor are deemed drills, have you shielded the nest? how to shield Ytong?
Thank you
Nah, didn't shield it. As long as your ants dont need more space they shouldn't bite through the ytong. Also it's not like from one day to the other, they need time to get through ytong.
i always look forward for these videos:)
very cool video! awesome to see how sample you make it look making it!:)
It look great man ! Goodwork
Thank you for this great video!

Reptile Nexus is there any alternative to ytong you can use
@@josevargas2345 a year late but you can use cork instead ^^

2:25 SPONGEBOB?!
Well done nice nest
cool vid/ tutorial.
What if you get mold in there.. You can't clean it..
Richtig schickes Nest 👍 Werde ich mir auf jeden Fall im Hinterkopf behalten, wenn ich mir weitere Nester baue :)
Freut mich immer wenn ich jemanden inspirieren konnte :)
Nice nest and video.
Where do you purchase your ytong from?
What videos are you going to do in the time your ants are hibernating? Und aus welchem Bundesland kommst du :D?
DIY and other ant stuff ;D I'm from Bavaria
Wenn du weiterhin aktiv so gute Videos machst, wirst du locker einer der großen YTber. Mach am besten noch einen deutschen Kanal und lad die gleichen Videos auf deutsch hoch.
Danke! Ich habe tatsächlich schon mit dem Gedanken gespielt noch einen deutschen Kanal aufzumachen. Mal schauen, vielleicht Anfang nächsten Jahres.. :)
Cool design! Like 👍🏻
How would you heat this nest (and would Messor need it at room temperature)?
Question: If you have a small colony but you have a big nest like this. (Becaus a small colony does not need a big home and maybe they will lay their trash inside the nest) Can you fill some chamber full with sand so they need to dig it out first before they can use those chamber?
That's no problem, but the sand have to stay dry, otherwise the ants could move into the sand and use the chambers without sand for trash.
Thank you! I am gonna try it out. Becaus I like too see ant "building" their homes. Also love it when they are at work with construction. With a nest like that there is less too work on. That is why I hoped this could be dont. Danke für eure Hilfe. Grüße aus den Niederlanden.
SO COOL!

I've just searched for "clay" on ebay and the first on was right, I guess Germany is a good place to live if you need ytong or clay :D
Thanks for the link! Yes I think you are right! Great videos and thank you for the reply! Love all your build videos very informative.
Best youtuber!!
wie immer! tolles video!
sehr schönes Nest ! :D
Would be great for honeypot ants
I guess you've seen the documentary "Empire of the desert ants" :D
But ytong is banned in the us and that’s where they live
Hey. Nice nest. Looks great. Are you come from Germany? Your accent sounds like like german. I come from Hamburg in Germany. I like your channel. Greetings Alex
Thanks, yeah I'm from Germany (Bavaria). :)
You can also check out my german ant channel, Antpire ;)
Nice video, and really cool nest!
I have a question: how do you cut the acrylic? I have some nests too, but I'm struggling with the acrylic.
Thank you! I cut it with a utility knife in both sides, after that, I crack the acrylic.
A video can explain better ruclips.net/video/AsBrJRNvdyA/видео.html
He only cuts one side, but its way easier to crack if you cut both sides.
Okay, thanks!
How old does a messor colony have to be before you get majors
My camponotus Lownei haven’t payed eggs yet...
I have no experience with australian ants but generell keep them at a dark warm spot, give her rest for 1 or 2 weeks and she should lay some eggs. Check out Ants Australia community, someone there should know this species
Amazing Ants yea it’s been I think 5-7 weeks of me getting her still no eggs 🥚
yeah, that's way too long. Try feeding her some proteins, small flies for example and some sugar water or honey. Is the queen bought or caught by you? In the worst cased she is not fertilized.
Amazing Ants already fed here a bit of honey and just recently put a Cricket leg in, I caught her
That's not good, sounds like a not fertilized queen. But like I have mentioned I have absolutely no experience with this species, maybe there is something special you need to know for founding.
Where did u get the glass?
I live in the the U.S and I can't find it here. How could I make my own with out ytong?
I have a 55 gallon acrylic tank I want to convert but idk how to build the tunnels without ytong
you could make a block out of plaster and than make tunnels like in ytong.
55 gallon acrylic tank? that's really a massive tank :D
Amazing Ants lol yeah I had it as an aquarium but I don't trust it to hold water. And I'm thinking of cutting a holeninto my room wall opening it into my closet and fitting it in with a shelf.
And plaster will work the similar to ytong?
yeah, it must be really thick acrylic to hold the pressure of water. I've never did a plaster nest before, but there are many people who made plaster nests. just google for it
Amazing Ants yeah I had it as an aquarium but when I moved it's taken to much heat changed and kinda afraid to put water ball in it. Ima just make the face and the rest out of foam as a spacer and the top of plaster with a little sand to make an out world
Thanks for the vid keep it up
i imagine your mouths moving or rotating 360 degrees with your pronounciation funny
What type of clay do you use?
It's just natural clay powder, nothing special.
ebay.eu/2Ab8ZYU
Because ytong is banned in the is there any alternatives to using ytong
Could’ve just build it horizontal, so you could add a steel mesh water tower for the queen’s brood 🤷
Where can I buy ytong?
If you are from US or Canada it's pretty hard to find, If you are form Europe you can find it in the most local hardware stores
Wow das sieht mega geil aus 😍😍😍😍
Fine ich auch ;D
Wow das werde ich für meine Messore bauen ^^
jaka jest pełna nazwa tego bloku z którego wykonałeś gniazdo? czy to gazobeton?
yeah its also called gazobeton
muy buen video, saludos desde españa !
Wow sieht mega aus
Aha, Werbung für die ozora gibt's auch 😅.
Messors will cleave ytong in a matter of a few months ☝️
I subscribe😎😎😎
