Хорошее видео, удачи в развитии твоих колоний. Скажу главное что заметил в этом деле - это то что в самом начале ты всегда хочешь много разных колоний, но чем больше ты занимаешься муравьями, тем меньше ты хочешь разнообразия, в конце ты приходишь к 1-3 видам, которые ты хочешь содержать на постоянной основе. В моем случае это стали мессоры, так как они универсальные муравьи и раскрываются, когда становятся большой колонией.
The size of the colony is important. Get a species with 5000 tops. Do not start with tiny ones like acorn either. You don't want 100.000+ You don't want ones you kill super easy or escape easily. Messor Barbarus etc are easy and cheap to keep and offer variety. Camponotus Foreli are the same but run on honey and hunt more (but grow slower Just to give you an idea. Bigheads are small but the queen is too big to escape AND they bounce back fast. They are highly entertaining and don't need much space/food Just to name a few good starter options
@@TheCraftingAnt that's true. Oh btw. Just saying because many get that wrong but; there is no need to make Honey thin with water. Ants can still eat it. That's a myth coming from a faulty relay of an experiment made years ago ;)
Nice brother!!

Thx! I have a lot of species to go!
Antkeeping is such an interesting hobby and I love it! I started 3 years ago and I'm just 14 years old😅
Cool! Thx for sharing!
14 Now and started 4 years ago XD
Cool!
Amazing video! ❤
Thx!
Good advises !
Thx!
I have been a ant keeper for 2 years
I'm a rookie 😅
The thing is, you're a way better ant keeper than me 😄
Why is that?
That I've been antkeeping longer than you and your way better
But why? I just try to learn from others. There is so much information!!! Don't put yourself down. Go for it!

Thing is that when they consume honey they a dehydrated a bit. So they need water next to it.
all for the love of ants!
Exactly!
Did the lateralis really chew that much on the wood piece?
Yes, you can see it here: ruclips.net/video/nLleETWeoSM/видео.html
