[hanzo45]

Do some ant farms need artificial airflow from a pump ? and how often do you need to water the nest ?

[DemonsLite]

[xerke]

why pour water in it?

[PreppyPoser1]

@xerke Hydrates the colony, they need moisture and water to live.

[trolextrolex]

0:58 look at the hole on the left... He will put a tube on there to conect the nest to an outworld where the food will be.

[James42785]

Most cities have glass companies that will cut the glass to whatever size you like.

[DerSchlunz]

schöne gefertigt. wie lang hast dran gearbeitet?

[zodiachic]

hey man!! nice work, ...but in that kind of nest, how much water you need?? how often?

[nafaka12]

i have a big block of y-tong and im gonna carv it all out in it and attatch a glass lid it how can i attack it easely i dont want something infront of the glass like rubber bands i hate that so and how can i get them to breath in it can you help me plz respond

[slytherin170892]

how does the glass stay on the gypsum?

does it need a clamp or something?

cause the glass-lid looks like it can fall off really easily - which may result in ants escaping

[NuptialFlight]

Yes you need some clamps or rubber band to hold it in place. You can also drill holes and attach some turnable wood bars for easy locking/removing.

[Polyman92]

The gypsum is gonna moist and destruct itself!

[pieguy2]

it started as liquid plaster so it should be fine

[SuperQwertyuiop123]

how often do you have to fill that big gap of water?

[EementalStone01]

What's that spot for anyway?

[broodkiller]

Im asking myself the same thing..

plaster is the same as plastic??

[danielfaria83]

How do you use it after putting the queen inside it? How do you feed them after closing it with the glass? is there a hole where you can put food?

[NuptialFlight]

Queens I don't put in such a nest. I put them into a glass test tube with a micro climate (small water section, separated by cotton batting). Only when they are a bigger colony, they can go into a gypsum nest. I drill holes and use tubes. Feeding is outside the nest, e.g. at the end of a tube attached to the nest.

[Kolopustor]

@NuptialFlight Why dont you use a terrarium, man? u cant put them forever in a nest and just feed them by attaching test tubes with food on it. That's not species-appropriate. Man, I'm surprised how seroius the the english speaking ants community differs from the german, and not in a good way!!! You are all a bunch of amateurs who dont have a single clue about ants.

[halusky65]

very nice plaster nest, did you made it youreself or you bought it?

[NuptialFlight]

thanks,I made it myself, in my other videos I show how to make such a nest. There is no sound or commentary on them by now, but I will add more such instruction videos soon when I have more time!

[gothicn]

very nice

[nanoguy4098]

Thats a nice sized nest! I always find it difficult trying to find a container the correct size to make the nest.
