Hey, what kind of grout do you always use? I used to use gypsum and it's frustrating how fast it is thickening and not pourable because if the mixture is too thin, the end product is too porous

[@thespacedinos4037]

You should try making A rainforest/jungle habitat with a mini pond, with aquatic life such as snails and shrimp. Maybe even a few loaches to eat the ants that fall in the water!

[@Dcolony]

That's my dream project buddy with multiple ant colonies too, but I don't have a big enough place for it now. Maybe in the future if we got succes here in yt, cause we need big enough space so the ants won't be able to raid the other inhabitants easily.

One of the best formicariums I've seen, truly, I have to wonder, how will you move them if it becomes necessary? And how will you clean out the nests one day?

[@Dcolony]

We have an expansion hole on the front of the glass buddy, if you mean how to clean for reuse? Since we can't clean it if they're inside, The lid can be open for each nest buddy once they've move to another set up.

D colony, my queen did not eat and did not remove her wings yet for 6 days

[@Dcolony]

That's not a good sign buddy, the best thing you could do is give her a honey but remove left overs. then hide her in dark quiet place for a month before checking her again and hope for the best. Or you can also let it go to give her a chance to participate in another nuptial flight.

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

It looks cool, but would the ants actually stay within the nests? The only reason why I ask that is because ants can actually nest within damaged grout, so I'd imagine the ants would eventually move into the grout itself instead of staying in the nests.

[@Dcolony]

They're nesting on it from the start till now buddy, biggest reason is it's only the parts that got moisture the grouts around except for the nest are all dry.

Hey D Colony!! Another amazing video and high quality nest you have made. I just have a quick question, what type of GROUT do you use, some are toxic for ants so i want to make sure im using the right one Keep up the amazing videos!!!

[@Dcolony]

I use a local brand name ABC buddy, just the typical grout.

[@stampinturtles]

Hello! I recently found a strange type of ants in my yard. I dug up the nest and put it in a jar. Idk if I got the queen or not but I did get broods. My question is what type of ants are they? Small but not tiny, bodies are dull (not shiny) and they are all black except the tips are white on antennas. They are docile. I found them in the ground under a plant near an oak tree. They seem very reclusive. Only one or two ants foraging. Not a line of them. Not very many either (like fire ants) so no swarm of them when I dug them up. Maybe I found a new species. lol I can send you video of them if you want.

[@Dcolony]

I would love too see if I can help buddy, but you can also check the ant wiki for list of available ants in your country you can get an id there or some hints.

[@stampinturtles]

That's unfortunate buddy, if you're just starting just wait for nuptial flights for free queen ants.I'm not not sure with your location, but ants usually starts to fly on a hot humid day most of the time summer. The best time to take note is a few days after the first strong rain. Good luck buddy hope this helps!

How often do you give them water and how and how much?

Drinking water is a must buddy so it should be always available for them. If you mean the nest, just water it if it looks dry. You can tell by comparing it to the hills around it which is so light cause of dryness.

Some at night.

If it's a newly caught queen buddy, you should identify it first. If she's a claustral queen no need to feed her until she had her 1st batch of workers, if semi claustral queen, you should feed her every 3 to 4 days.
