I think you are awesome. I almost clicked elsewhere the first time I saw one of your videos, but I'm so glad I stayed! You're so funny!

I'd like to mention another legendary fact about bob... bob spelled backwards is still bob. No matter how you turn him bob will always be bob

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Very true!

[@Cheeseburger084]

Damn

[@MichaelPiz]

Yet bob spelled upside-down is pop. Also, there's no I in either team or bob. And team spelled sideways is meat. Which is protein. Go Bob!

Facts 😂

[@JDeppFan2272]

The ants will move out of the tube when 2 things happen. 1, the tube gets dirty enough that it is no longer livable. 2, they have a large enough colony to warrant needing more space. The colony isn't large enough right now to move into the nest area and the poop stains is a good thing cause it means the tube is getting nice and dirty. Since they are growing quite fast and already have sub majors they should be moving out at any time.

[@sammyjones8279]

That makes sense. I also tend to get up and move when the poop stains cover too much of my surrounds

[@scottcates]

[@fzzybash5915]

Could it be -maybe- that they are called a "Seed collecting species" because they like to collect Seeds?

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

That is possible

[@Lclayton4]

No it may be bc they collect human children🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@mo-s-]

No I think they like to collect seeds because they are a seed collection species

[@Bloodson22]

I have no idea how it could come to fruition, but the idea of having both you and AntsCanada tell an ecosystem story together would be instant gold for followers of both of you. You two would play off each other so well I think.

I love these videos, please post more about your ants. Really interesting to see how they go about their daily lives.

[@skyrimLEGION]

I think mould is growing on the cotton swab. That'll end up killing the ants if you don't replace the swab or they leave the tube.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

Why do you think that? I'll check it out closely, thanks

[@skyrimLEGION]

@@HomemadeEcosystemsIt could just be me, but the black fuzzy stuff does look like mould. I only recalled this because another channel which also specialises in ant colony stuff lost a colony to it. I could be totally wrong in which case just ignore me but yeah, better safe than sorry.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

@@skyrimLEGION I checked it and you might be right. I'm not sure too but I'm going to give them a new tube. I'm not risking it. Thanks!

[@VilleZiable]

It is wise to give them an optional clean tube with fresh water. But it is pretty rare to lose a colony to mold, atleast if they have another source for clean water to drink from. Awesome stuff man, keep it up! ❤ You and Bob are inspiring a lot of people already. Bob reminds me of Stalin a little bit. There was nothing he or Bob couldn't do and everyone loved him dearly. Good thing Bob doesn't have gulags, at least for now. 🙊

[@HeinzTomatoKetchup]

This one should have the most likes

[@babalonkie]

The ant colony was too small for the built nests (They get uncomfortable having small numbers in a large space), so to compensate, they are creating warriors in a small space. I bet when the Majors and numbers grow, they will be straight back to the built nest.

[@CMZneu]

Great video! Btw you should start getting them used to light, gradually move the tin foil farther back each day... or just remove it completely honestly once they have this many workers the slight stress not being in darkness gives them is negligible, in fact it's way more stressful to expose them to light each time you check on them than just keeping them in light. Personally I only cover new queens that i am unfamiliar how stress tolerant they are, most species I keep them in the light from day one.

[@Mr.moestuin]

they will move into the new nest when they are with enough

[@AntLover14]

They moved to the tube because the nests are way too big for them and they need to grow first, it can be slow at the beggining, but after about 50 workers they should start to explode in size and the queen should lay dozens of eggs per week, but that can also depend on the conditions and how productive the queen is. From the beggining they eat mostly seeds, later they can eat other stuff like roaches, mealworms, crickets. They are sensitive to light and will run around like idiots. They are easy to keep, so good luck with them. And nice video im giving you 👍😂
