Great video but as a newbie at this, I have a question that probably is a dumb one for gurus but I need to ask. Don't the ants need drinking water as well or is hydrating the nest with the sponges enough?
I have experimented with this since making this video, I notice the same problem over time. Instead, I have painted the bottom of the water reservoir to capture the water for longer.
You could use either a low wattage heat matt or heat cord. If your thinking about getting one, try a heat cord since you can warm up several colonies at the same time!
Definitely like the idea of a AAC nest. The idea of designing ang making your own has a huge appeal.
Nest is looking really good!
Aye thanks Mate! I’m happy with it being my first go

I would be worried that placing the magnets on top of the glass will shatter it, but cutting glass is difficult too.
I was too, but if you place the magnet close, it seems ok, it’s also surprisingly tight fitting!👌 😊

NICE JOB! be sure to do a moving video

@@TheAntKeeper I deffenetly will
Heat lamps r hella hot compared to heating cables 😂
Seemsnlike small ants could squeeze between the ytong and glass cover
A question, i also make them but the water reservoir is always dry even with a sponge, and the heat is like 25-30°C so it dries up very fast

I'm just wondering but what would you use to heat the colony

I got my block in NSW for $7.80
Nice!
Hi um ant keeper I love your videos um could you please help me with polyrhachis colony. It would be very much appreciated 😁😁😁
My ytong nest dry up too fast even with a sponge and I water 3 ml and the nest Isn't really that big
I find I have to hydrate the sponges every 2 days, that being said, some sp. would prefer a dry nest and would suit not being hydrated as often.
I believe Sealing the outside of the nest with paint will help reduce moisture loss too.
. It's not. a must to catch. a. queen. ant
