This is the best tutorial I've ever seen, thanks!!

[@rouxcool1227]

In France we says "do it with your parents" so it surprise me when you've said "do it with your father or older brother"

[@denkitney8865]

Very interesting and informative, good work.

[@Dcolony]

Thanks buddy. 😁

[@AntsBritania]

Another cool video!

[@Dcolony]

Thanks again buddy 🙏

[@nicholas9268]

Good content tbh kind of surprised you don’t have a bigger fan base

[@antlover4438]

That's also what's on ma mind.

[@Dcolony]

Thanks for the appreciation buddies. 🙏

[@travisb5358]

Dude, very inspiring content you have here and on your channel in general. I have 16 young colonies and only two formicarium which are the home for a Campo Penn. and a campo Floridanus. this video sparked great ideas for homemade Formicaria. Thank you D Colony you da MAN!! or WOMAN!! Keep making premium content for us ant folk lol much LOVE and RESPECT from Colorado U.S.A.

[@Dcolony]

Thank you so much for the support buddy, and good luck to your ant colonies, D colony loves you too. 🙏

[@nicholas9268]

True the formicariums that are professionally made tend to be very expensive for no specific reason, homemade alternatives are such a good idea

[@ThisGuy327]

These videos are amazing keep up the amazing work that you’re doing!

[@theelite4989]

Great video, love your DIY nests the most

[@Dcolony]

Thanks buddy

[@DonALofts]

Last question... The cut out ventilation on top has no screen? How do you prevent them crawling out? Also where do you get the containers? And what are they called . Thanks so much for sharing. Gave me some ideas.

[@Dcolony]

I use an olive oil as barrier to prevent the ants on the video from escaping buddy. The mini containers link was on the description bud, thanks 🙂

[@natureman494]

I love pharaoh ants they're probably my favorite species.

[@Dcolony]

Do you also keep them buddy?

[@natureman494]

@@Dcolony I used to. sadly not at at the current time. finding a queen in my area is quite difficult and its seems like no one sells queens of this spp.

[@olliefs9298]

Epic set up LOOVVEE!!! The idea of this cheers!

[@olliefs9298]

Sry this is the first vid I have found of yours.. do you have a video on your tube setups? Just curious on what looks to be feeding trays (white plastic) inside the tubes.. will explore your vids more after work!!!

[@Dcolony]

I think I got some of those on the past vids buddy, but Those are just ordinary plastic that I used to feed them, just to make their tube as clean as possible.

[@olliefs9298]

[@susanscovill6817]

Great work filming and the formicarium builds. I would rather hear your voice than a generated one though. It was a little too monotoned and jittery for my taste. Cheers from Canader eh!

[@Dcolony]

Thanks buddy, but as of the moment I don't have the guts yet for a voice reveal, but I'm hoping I can really do it sooner.

[@snail9552]

Can’t wait to get a queen ant

[@Dcolony]

Good luck buddy. Lot of queens flying now hope you get one soon.

[@Queerulantin]

Do you use coconut soil for the Nest? For what Kind of ants?

[@Dcolony]

On most soil nesting species buddy like fire ants. Sometimes I mix dirt too.

[@Queerulantin]

Today i mixed flowerdirt with coconut for my Lasius Niger, they are 1 queen and 10 worker, a lot of eggs, they are my first ants.

[@Dcolony]

Cool buddy, wishing the best for your colony! 🙏

[@PewYew]

Thanks po

[@Dcolony]

Welcome buddy

[@Khebron]

I really like this simple design, but a quick question, the "earth" in the nesting areas are bio active? If the ants make a chamber for their waist, will it be processed or will they notice that this isn't bio active and bring the "garbage" somewhere els?

[@Dcolony]

The pharoah ants occupying the ant farm bringing their waste in the outworld buddy. Thanks for watching 😊

[@niklaslarsson4440]

I've seen most of your videos and they are awesome! I just have one question about the acrylic cement. What kind do you use? I've tried to find some, but it's like a djungel 😅

[@Dcolony]

It's weld on 4 buddy, they have it on Amazon. I bought mine locally with the link on description.

[@niklaslarsson4440]

@@Dcolony Thanks for the answer. I thought I checked the description, but I must have missed it. Gonna try it out! Keep up the good work 😄👍
