    Greetings, ant lovers! Thanks so much for watching! So what do you think of this new feeding system? Yay or nay? Let me know your thoughts, cause I'm pretty half-half on it atm. Also, hope you can remember to give the video a THUMBS UP, SHARE it with your friends, and SUBSCRIBE (hit the BELL and select ALL for Notifications Squad) if you enjoyed today's episode. It was super hard to film, make, and witness! Hope you enjoyed this week's episode. Ant love forever!

    Honestly, you just need a way to 'turn it off' cause eventually the amount of roaches breeding won't be enough to sustain the ants. So I would say only open the floodgates every once in a few days or so. Personal non-professional opinion.

      I really like this idea with the feeder roaches. It's not like you are forcing the roaches into the "tubes of natural selection " aka "tubes of death ". You are offering the sacrifices a good life, well, better than they would get out in the wild. They dont have to hunt for their food and the only danger they face is the tubes. They wont have the constant stress of looking out for danger. We all know the cockroaches will be well cared for by you with all the food they could eat and the food would be good food also.
      I know this bothers you and I'm sorry but thank you for doing this.

    I think it's ethical, it is of course a natural process. And you're giving the roaches nutrients and letting them live normal lives as long as they don't travel through the tunnels. But when they do travel through the tunnels, the ants benefit and hunt. Benefits for both, like you said. I'd call the colony the EncROACHment

      My fiancé and I had the same thought, controlling how many roaches enter the tube of death. The first shot of the roaches, they were so close together that they were bumping into one another. The day after the bloodbath, it didn’t even look like there were any on the coco fiber.

    Ants are actually advanced creatures, especially for insects.
    They have:
    •language through antennas and pheromones
    •build complex tunnels and chambers with intent/purpose
    •adapt and learn from their environment to better their ability to traverse for food or resources
    •have many roles, such as worker, solder, nurse, farmer (which I will address last)
    •work together to make bridges and even rafts out of their own bodies
    •deploy strategies and even smart tactics against prey (even using dirt to neutralize the defensive slim effect of slugs) and rival armies (even the use of intentionally flanking)
    •engage in agriculture by using aphids as cattle for honeydew (even moving aphids to better parts of plants or trees) or growing and managing special fungus through cut leaves in certain chambers.

      I'd disagree with that one.

      It causes equal amounts of suffering the difference is you don't feel as bad cause you gave them an option they are not aware of.
      The tube explorers want to die just as much as the ones you throw in.

    What will define how viable of a strategy this is rests solely on the amount of roaches lost per feeding, if you lose too many roaches too quickly the numbers could dwindle down and impact both the fire ant colony and the roaches, so if this setup can mantain a considerable number of roaches safe and breeding while feeling some of them to the empire, thats wondeful! But be mindful that the ands might take a much bigger bite that we expect and then our temple would begin to empty. Kudos to you for this amazing idea ! Ant love forever :D

    Hi, I really liked this idea, and think it's a great concept. I just think you shouldn't leave it "working" 24/7, I think you should block the holes with cotton (or the actual plug that comes with the AC Outworld) for most of the time, and like once a day, or twice at most unplug it and let them in. At least in the beggining, untill you can be absolutelly sure that they can reproduce faster then they die. I just think that because although there's so many of them, when they were falling that was in so big groups at a time, and kept going, that I'm afraid the rate is to big for them to be able to reproduce in time. I don't know, maybe I'm totally wrong, that was just the feelling I got from the footage... Keep up the good work, love your channel!

    As a person who grew up in fire ant territory, I have to ask; what kind of monster keeps a colony of fire ants in their house?

    Cockroach name should definitely be “The Fallen Angels”, it’s a nod at their role in feeding the Phoenix empire AND their decent into Hell’s Kitchen

      It's not like he let them walk around his home lol I breed Dubia Roaches, Mealworms and Superworms. Everyone is always so intrested in the meal and superworms but the moment I say roach they freak out lol once again it's not like I'm living side but side with them. They're in an enclosure and can't escape.

    Yeah, just keep the system. My suggestion was to add a plug so that when it's not feeding time you can keep the roaches from jumping into Hell's Kitchen and ensure there's enough roach population to keep things running.
