I Gave My Pet Ant Colony a Baby Mouse

[@AntsCanada]

Greetings AC Family & fellow ant lovers everywhere! This is hands down one of my favourite episodes this year, and I was completely mind blown at so many points creating this video. Hope you like it and learned as much as I did, and if you did hope you could remember to hit LIKE, leave me a COMMENT, SHARE the video, and SUBSCRIBE (hit the BELL & Select ALL for Notifications Squad) to the channel to join our ever-growing AC Family! Love you, guys! 🙏🌿🐜 Ant love forever! So question: What are your thoughts on what I asked at the end? Any ideas? Let me know! It's brainstorming time!

[@SCPSiteX]

For marauder ants, a hybrid nest setup would be more suitable than an ant tower. A hybrid nest provides a combination of a nest and an outworld, which can be beneficial for marauder ants as they are a highly active and aggressive species. The outworld component of the hybrid nest allows for a larger foraging area for the ants to explore, while the nest component provides a secure area for the ants to retreat to and care for their brood. Additionally, marauder ants are a larger species, so they would benefit from a larger space to move around in, which a hybrid nest can provide. It is important to ensure that the hybrid nest setup has enough space for the ants to move around comfortably and that it is appropriately ventilated to prevent any issues with humidity. Overall, a hybrid nest setup would be the better choice for your marauder ants.

[@YaoiChan18]

Well, Leviathans are typically associated with the sea. I think it would be cool to do a sea cave style terarium. Like, full on coral reef without the water kind of deal. Fake rocks could house the digging medium against the back wall of a taller glass terarium, so they can build up against it and a sheet of black paper or a removable cover of some kind so you can peek into the nest chambers. Make the facade a full panel so it will stay put instead of individually securing a cave network.

I love the test tube hanging off the bottom! Keep the underhang idea, as it's amazing, and awesome to be able to see inside. Would it be possible to connect the tower setup of the vampire ants, the red wrapped tower, onto the bottom and use one of those? Maybe a newer version that's twice the size in height! That way we can see the inside from outside the wrap, and the inside where it's hollow, allowing for more introspection on the ants operation of life.

[@get.sassyxd]

@iluvKH4eva yes, I'm in the US. Unfortunately, others have ruined the whole "only keep them as pets and don't let them loose" thing here. especially in Florida, too many people let their snakes and other reptiles go into the wild, so now they are overpopulated with a bunch of invasive reptiles. I'm sure I could find someone illegally selling them, but my kids would tell everyone I had it 🤣 we actually had a pair of African Land snails get out (I think that was also I'm Florida, I don't live there) and they literally shut the whole city down and sprayed a pesticide of some sort to kill them. The news articles about it were hilarious but off the charts. They made it sound like aliens taking over. I can't imagine spraying a pesticide like that was good for the ecosystem.

[@irvingbrown2389]

How’s it going Mikey? Great video!! I always look forward to Saturday for the new video. As usual you never disappoint! Years ago I had an Argentinian horned frog, a.k.a. Pac-Man frog. It doesn’t take long for them to grow, starting off with crickets and then pinkies and eventually full grown mice. I’m sure you know I’m the wild Tory will often eat small rodents, pretty much anything they can fit in their mouths. I had to move and had to get rid of him, when I did he was easily the size of a dinner plate, probably 8-10 inches in diameter. They aren’t aggressive at all, just smart ambush predators, using their natures camouflage to burrow down in moss with just their eyes showing. They sit extremely still until their prey walks right in front of them, then they lunge forward gulping their prey whole. Maybe sometime you could do a video on feeding your frog. I always found them to be really beautiful frogs. When I was younger I had many different aquariums and pets, this was years before KZbin and social media. I started have an aquarium, but like you I’ve recently gotten property and am working on rebuilding. So I’ve had to downsize. Once my new house is finished I’ll most likely get started again. Your channel is always a joy to watch and an inspiration!! I can’t wait to start an ant colony! It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time now! I live in upstate NY so I’ll have to find a good colony that’s native to my area. Thanks again for the great video. Take care Mikey!

Here’s a joke why do ants never get sick? Because they have little antibodies

[@gonaloarajo]

The background music that was playing reminds me of a game I play on roblox called ant colony

[@TheTiger2000]

Some people are gonna be mad at him for this, but it’s part of natural processes. Things die, things get eaten, things eat the ants, and so on.

[@FallenAngelHiroko]

Right. I mean it's not like he went out and killed it himself. It's sad but inevitable. Clearly they missed The Lion King's preaching of Circle of Life. For all we know, that mouse could have simply been the runt and just failed to thrive. My first dog was the runt and wasn't expected to live beyond a week or so (He did survive for 13 years).

If we’re excusing this artificial set up designed to get money through ads on KZbin on the basis of it being a “natural process”, he should also be releasing animals that predate ants into his setups, so they can destroy the colony, as happens in nature.

[@ujlt7198]

is it natural to farm and freeze baby mice?

[@sarasabian]

​@@ujlt7198 it's better than feeding live rodents to reptiles which risks both being injured and suffering. Rodents are also needed for injured birds of prey being nursed back to health. Humane culling is as kind as we can be to provide a food source to another species.

[@sarasabian]

@A Suicune On The OBX It's pretty poor practice that they'd do they did that with the rabbits and it sounds like it was for entertainment value more than anything. Pythons and boas typically don't snap necks - they constrict by smothering their prey. Every time the prey item exhales the python constricts its coils and the prey is unable to inhale. Much kinder to feed something pre-thawed. Stunned is a last alternative in my opinion, rodents can come around and they are smart. They can inflict a lot of damage on a reptile. It's been mentioned on this channel before that no matter how hard we try we'll never fully replicate the conditions of nature. In nature a prey animal that isn't immediately caught and consumed will escape or fight for survival. In an enclosure they cannot escape and will often fight. I hate when people try to defend live feeding as natural because it absolutely isn't. A captive snake isn't going to feed just because you want it to. I gagged watching this video because I'm very familiar with the smell of uneaten rodent 🤢 it's a particular stink. Worse is a regurgitated rodent.

You should record the queen ant laying eggs

I think Majors are so import so much so that they have 3 roles of their colony 😮 -Being a crawling tank of the colony -Being the specialized food/Enemy grinder/chopper of the colony -Being sometimes a living storage That's incredible dude!

[@poisen06]

i'd say they help with organisation too considering how they lead the charge with that gravel and even moving ants sometimes.

[@wizardomiruz]

@@poisen06 yeah, 😆 excavating some ants as well

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

They are very bad at fight because of being slow in movements. Fast ants like black crazy, yellow crazy, white footed, etc can easily defeat one. Their main work is to cut through tough food.

[@geometricaluranium1]

majors are like APCs

[@Balrogcateee]

According to all known laws of aviation there is no way a bee should be able to fly

Its great how the marauder ants are, I'm glad they are doing well.Also I think an abandoned city would be something great for the marauder ants.
