That screen bottom is awesome… For dubia I’m using a 45gallon aquarium , their water is a 2 liter chicken water reservoir with gravel in it & to clean it I use a small shop vac.

[@aidithasni]

[@RuslanPanamarenka]

Hello! How big the holes in your mesh for cockroaches ? I wan’t to do something similar, but can’t choose the mesh for that. If it is too big, small cockroaches can fall. If it is too small, the trash can be in container with the cockroaches.

[@Dcolony]

I don't know the proper size buddy, but it was the screen use on windows, called mosquito screen. It's best for dubias, the smallest nymphs won't fall. But Not good for breeding lats, their eggs will be trap and newly hatched roach is small enough to fit in there, and fall below with the waste.

[@valerenzia9208]

Hi there! Thank you for sharing this ingenious setup for feeder insects! It's Awesome! I have a question though. How do you maintain your feeder colony if the eggs fall down with the frass? Do you have another setup for hatching the eggs? I'm keeping mealworms - a 3 bins system with both the worms and the beetles in flour. I wonder how to separate the eggs from the frass... Or do you just throw the frass and eggs in flour substrate to grow them? Thanks for the insight!

[@Dcolony]

That may do buddy, on my mealworm set up I use the last one featured in this video, the eggs go with the frass when I notice there's some little larvaes on the under bin I transfer them with the frass in a different container where I feed and grow them, don't worry about the frass you could sieve them later when they're all grown up a little.

[@valerenzia9208]

@@Dcolony Thank you very much for the information. Keep up your good work!

[@elementn4107]

I need to try this but I want to see a set up for meal worms.

[@Dcolony]

The last one works well with mealworms buddy, eggs and frass will all be down there, easy to clean and strain, the only thing I work at the beetles level is feed them, and add the newly pupated ones.

I would love to use this method for feeder roaches

0:04 i saw that kind of ant walking alone and slow what species is that?

[@Dcolony]

It's not yet identified buddy, but it's between tetramorium & dilobocondyla, but right now it's most likely tetra.

[@AndrieAceroo]

Wow I could really use this once my colony is big! Right now there are only 2 nanitics in my ant colony and I was surprised on how small they are compared to matured colonies haha, and btw D colony idk why but my queen gets easily scared and she ate her eggs so I stopped looking for 10 days and when I looked again there was 1 nanitic worker. I'm thinking of feeding them because they are definitely really hungry, but the thing is the one that they were drinking has run out of water bc I didnt put a lot of space for the water so I connected another test tube using tape but they still aren't moving near the water and instead put some waste near it but they do drink on it. How should I give them food if they get easily scared?

[@Dcolony]

Ants get scared buddy every time you open their nest, that's normal especially on young colonies cause it's like a giant rip their nest and exposed them without protection. You can give them their food then just cover them again. And about the move, some ants sp buddy got difficulties moving to a new nest, but we can speed up the process by exposing their old testube their currently at in light, and cover the new testube really well, this will help them to decide faster.

[@AndrieAceroo]

@@Dcolony Well I dont have a lamp and I definitely cant put them outside bc its loud and I have a lot of family members. But I'll figure it out so is normal sunlight fine? Oh and why did my previous queen not get scared at all when I opened

[@Dcolony]

I will make soon buddy on how to raise feeders from the wild, let's see if I can film catching them, in the coming months, cause normally I caught crickets from April to June. It's not too abundant this month. So let's see. But I already have some I caught last month.

Can we just feed Dubia Chicken food + Water in tube (no vegetable)? is it ok with them, buddy :?

[@Dcolony]

Yes buddy, that will work fine too. It will just be less nutritious for your pets.

[@DarkWolfTrading]

@@Dcolony ah, so I remember you was said you do this with Breed-size, does it affect its fertility, the number of its broods? 🤒

[@Dcolony]

I don't think so buddy, they still reproduce the normal way.

[@minkhantthu7905]

What kind of food can ants eat most? I scare the feeder insects :") so can I feed my ant from our daily foods? Since I scare to hold worm or roaches with my hand, I can't hold other insect too...my father will kill me if I make a full box of roaches, too...so yeah...need some advice for my ant food...

[@Dcolony]

Ants main diet is protein and carbohydrates buddy. Protein from insects, meats or seeds. carbohydrates from fruits, sugar water, honey.

[@Dcolony]

You really need insects to grow a colony buddy.
