AntsVienna nice video 👍🏻 I just had my first workers for my Lasius colony but they are a brownish. The queen looks like Flavus with a yellow underside and legs. Did your Lasius Flavus workers look darkish when they hatched and then turn orange or do I have a different species? Thanks for the help!
I personally prefer Ytong, since it has better breathing cababilities and is not as suseptible to mold. That being said, plaster gives you more flexibility in terms of shaping
Quick question? Dont plastor nest mold easier? I would love to use plastor cuz it's cheap but I don't wanna end up killing my ants cuz of mold I'm hoping a plastor nest is able to be in use for a very long time for ants
Hello there. Yes, plaster does mold easier than other materials, BUT if you water the nest with moderation (not too much) then you should face no problems. If you want to be on the safe side, just connect the nest to an outworld and provide your ants with water via a liquid feeder there. ruclips.net/video/4umwrNBjhMk/видео.html
Hello NOE! I have links to all products I use in the video description. Also I'll be making some more ant farms this year😉 You can check out some more of my builds here: ruclips.net/video/bpFLpoq0x18/видео.html&ab_channel=AntsVienna
Hello there! Glad my Video helped you out!😄 I've made a couple of other plaster ant nests in the past - you can check them out here: ruclips.net/video/71b5G59N9Yc/видео.html
Hello Patrick! Kind of. When you water the sponge it disperses the water on the surrounding walls. After that ants can drink the water particles on the other side. Hope my explanation helps you out!😉

I really am mostly into modular nests but your videos make me either buy yours or DIY it myself haha. I like the blue one more. The only thing i'd add would be something that makes lifting the lid off a bit easier, because i imagine right now it's a bit of fingerwork to get the lid off?
@@AntsVienna Hope you are doing well! also the non toxic plaster is ready to carve left in the window for 2+ months and found a queen i'll wait for 10-20 workers found the queen against the wall Camponotus cinctellus. Thank you for great content!
Hello there. How often you have to hydrate depends on the species, but i would say max. twice a week. I haven't heard or experienced plaster disolving when too moist - especially if you bake it. It's not like clay.
Love the look of these nests! The blue one especially is a really nice aesthetic. I'd like to make my own sometime, could you point me towards what lid you used as your mold? The rounded octagon shape is really pretty but I can't find it online.
Hello there - glad you like my ant farm design! Like I said in the video this hexagon mold was actually the top of a plastic food delivery box - no idea where the restaurant got these from myself😅😂 I just always keep plastics with interesting shapes for DIY purposes
i cant understand how ants drink water. it did not look like the ants can get to the sponge i have 3d printed a mini nest and ti waters from the bottom can ants drink thru a net mest?
Hello Chris! When you water the nest water goes through the sponge and walls get humid. After this ants can drink the small water particles that build up on the other side of the walls (nesting chambers). Hope this helps you understand how it works😉🐜
Awesome I think I finally understand I’m not sure if you have made a video on that topic. If not I think it would be very informative. Thanks for responding
Können sie, würde ich aber nicht empfehlen alleine zu verwenden. Würde zuerst mit dem Stemmeisen die grobe Arbeit machen und dann mit dem Dremel die Feinheiten in den Kammern und Gängen erledigen.
I love your build videos! I been busy making new nests aswell. You inspire me to make better nests and you are right! The key making a great nest is patience! I hope you make more building videos! Love it buddy!👍🏾🐜😁
A cool tip I use when molding with plaster is to spritz any gathered bubbles on the surface with ethanol, it will burst them all instantly without effecting your mix.
Thank you - glad you like them! Yes, I use a special (non-toxic) plaster (amzn.to/3eNgE1q). You can find links to everything I use in the description of my Videos ;) You have to keep an eye on the humidity and shouldn't water the same spot too often. With plaster buils I usually provide a water-filled Test tube in the respective outworld for the ants to drink anytime.
Nice movies you have! I like to watch them and i learn alot but i dont understand why you painted the blue nest on the inside because you say the paint block water for the ants. Greetings from Belgium ✌️
Hello Mike! Well noticed - but I actually did not paint the chambers themselves in the blue one. I used a technique that incorporates some paint in the plaster mix itself, without blocking water. The part that is actually painted there is the white😉
Amazing! Just amazing! That nest in the thumbail has just the perfect colors!!! Anyways, what will happen if I heat the nest too much? Will it dry up faster or break?
Thank you for the praize! I wouldn't go any higher than 150° Celsius. It may crack and/or break. Letting it at a lower temperature for longer results in a better bonding of plaster molecules.
Hi there! Absolutely great! 2 things : for me personally it was too long the video, the speeded up parts you can speed up even a bit more I think. And2.: the chambers... Why haven't you made them deeper? Is that for a certain reason or just because you were in this mood? Wouldn't the ants like it a bit deeper so that they can have more space for the eggs and could spend more time in it?
Hello there! Well I can't change the length of the video now, but I can answer your second Question: I am planing to house a Tetramorium Caespitum colony, that's why the chambers of the green one are pretty shallow (Tetra are very small ants). While the chamber depth of the blue one is considerably deeper ;)
Do you have any advice on using the plaster? I’ve just tried this and dried it in an oven. It seems quite powdery to touch. Is this okay, or do I need to throw it away and try again?
Hello again. No, for the blue one I used a blue plaster mix - so the actually painted part in the inside of the blue one is the white part on top and not the chambers :) You can screw it on, but I attached the blue magnetically and the green one with bluetac
Hello there, you water the integrated sponges, which then transport the water into the nest walls around them. This allows the ants to absorb the humidity from the other side of the wall, without being able to escape. Hope this helps you out!
@@AntsVienna so ants doesn’t really drink directly to water source? Like they can drink by tiny particles of humidity? I am doing research, pardon my silly questions, planning to get my first colony soon. I am really appreciate your answer
@@hansohlou Hello again! Yes, exactly. Though ants can drink from the source directly they also can drink from these tiny particles. Here's a video playlist that usually answers most of beginner questions on ant keeping ;) ruclips.net/video/ih00NnzeDiQ/видео.html
i dont keep ants but i love ant nature shows and i love watching him build nests. so you're saying the water seeps thru the plaster into the chambers abd tunnels? i think i want to see ants crawling around in those ant farms
@@ΓιάννηςΠαρχατουρίδης Lasius Brunneus are an interesting species to keep. They are not as easy going as Lasius Flavus, but also not as aggresive as Lasius Niger - in regards to their attitude they fall somewhere in the middle. You can have a look here ;) ruclips.net/video/JnrsDL5z0hQ/видео.html

For the blue one, the chamber is painted so will it affect the water to seep through for the ants? I think the unpainted version is cleaner & neater than both painted version.
I prefer the green one as the other one looks like it has been painted in the chambers which will make it harder for the ants to get the moisture they need because when acrylic paint dries it forms a plastic layer
That is correct. But here it comes - the inside of the chambers on the blue one has NOT been painted. I used a special procedure to give the wet plaster mixture color, without it being able to form this plastic layer. This way ants can be hydrated/drink normally and you get an awesome color combination ;)

Hey antsvienna do you prefer using plaster or ytong with your nests?
I personally prefer Ytong, since it has better breathing cababilities and is not as suseptible to mold. That being said, plaster gives you more flexibility in terms of shaping
Doesnt plaster mold ? Can you make a grout formicarium DIY video
Only if watered too much, grout formicarium DIY coming soon😉
Get springtails 👍
Nice kitchen
haha - Thanks, it's actually pretty old by now😂
What would be toxic in these powders? They don't label the bag toxic.
If you are not sure, you should let the plaster dry for 2 weeks before moving ants in
nice
Thanks!
Finally(!) what kind of plaster material should I consider? Plaster of Paris or some other kind?
Hey there! Links to all products I use are in video description

I choose the blue one because it is beautiful. Did you paint it the chambers and tunnels? because I saw color in the tunnels and chambers.
Hello there. No, I actually used blue plaster (mixed some non-toxic paint in) for it. I also like the blue one more myself :)
It turned out great what brand of plaster are you using also what about gypsum???
Hello NOE! I have links to all products I use in the video description. Also I'll be making some more ant farms this year😉

Hello there! Glad my Video helped you out!😄 I've made a couple of other plaster ant nests in the past - you can check them out here: ruclips.net/video/71b5G59N9Yc/видео.html
why the sponge with water? is to keep humid? because the ants can't reach it to drink
Hey there. The sponge in just for better water dispersion. The ants can drink the moisture on the other side of the wall (their living chambers)
Where did you find your mold? Would be perfect for my small ants
Funny story: This was a top from a package of the food delivery man... that i totally used for another purpose😂
some ants like rough textures can you add sand to the plaster?
Yes, of course! You just have to place sand corns into the mixture before pouring it in the mold 😉
Do the ants drink water from the sponge
Hello Patrick! Kind of. When you water the sponge it disperses the water on the surrounding walls. After that ants can drink the water particles on the other side. Hope my explanation helps you out!😉
What are the names of this grinding bits you are using please?
Not sure about their names - but I got links to them in the videos description ;)
Hello! Can I use grout instead of plaster?
Absolutely, you just need to shape the chambers before grout hardens completely
Blue one looks awesome, where did u get the mold from?
I'll tell you, BUT you won't believe me... It was just the top of a plastic box from the food delivery guy 😂
how do you know if the Plaster is non-toxic?
Hello there. It has to be written somewhere in the product description or on its packaging
Is baking it a need?
No, but you must let it dry out for 2 weeks if you don't. Otherwise the fumes from moist plaster can kill the ants inside.
Oh ok ide rather cook it tho
I've always made my plaster formicariums without a mask 😨
I used to do the same. But mask helps a lot with breathing & glasses are a must no way how you put it.

Will this work with cement
With cement you need to prepare the chambers ahead of time with e.g. plastilin. Once cement is dry you cannot process it further!
make more. yes yes yes.
Will do. I plan a few formicarium designs for 2024 ;)
where to buy this ant nest online?
Hello there. I made this myself in this video. Will be launching an online shop for antfarms later this year 😉
How the ant get the water?
The wall around the sponge gets moist and ants lick from the other side of moist wall
I really am mostly into modular nests but your videos make me either buy yours or DIY it myself haha.

How do you humidificate and how often? Doesn’t plaster disolve if you keep it too moist? Im not sure at all, im just asking

Will the plaster not disintegrate over time with the moisture from the sponge?
No, plaster does not disintegrate - if dryied corectly (2 weeks in sunlight or baked in oven like in this video)
