ant setup

today the hybrid nest arrived(finaly)so i made a video about it(no link here).
then after the unboxing video i encountered a problem... the test tube they came in didn't fit
in any adaptors so i made a connector using cotton which worked(i hope). then i made a video about the setup
(again no link here)

the outworld is not here yet... so i made one using a box(from when you order Chinese food)
it was the same box as the one i used for hibernation exit i put some sugar cubes(ones that you put in tea) in.
(do ants eat those?).

i didnt put flies in because i dont think they can kill it


the cat has been foud guilty of his crimes and sentenced to 10 days staying inside(LOL :lol: )

Ants should be able to eat sugar cubes but maybe not the full thing.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Ants around me are becoming more and more common.Kinda makes sense since I live in Texas so it doesnt get as cold as other places.Well you know except the whole Snow thing a few weeks back.
