[Music] - hello guys we're really happy that you liked our video about ant the ants are doing great look at them go but we decided that one farm isn't enough and we're going to make an amazing big house yes they're going to live almost like on a seashore I really hope they like it of course they well even I already like it even though I haven't seen it yet of course Sammy not only show but tell as well this ant farm kit has the main box or the arena the ants can go for a walk here and that's where we'll place a decor we have wonderful decorations the sand colourful pebbles and even a turtle [Music] there's also pathways special vials huh not sure what for but I think for water these plastic thing useful are those are plus we'll install them to let the ants know where they can go and where they can't there are plugs with openings there doors and there are solid plugs there walls there's also some food a cleaning brush and a magnifying glass let's go first we need to connect the arena and the pathways the pathways are divided into two sections one section will be closed for now the ant colony needs to grow first part of each section needs to be moisturized look there's special plaster covering to give the ants necessary humidity Oh fine I think you've already explained why ants need wet chambers I forgot I'll explain again ants need wet chambers for their babies to grow during the early stages when they grow up a bit they are taken to the dry chambers that's why it's very important to keep the forma karyam humid enough what are they gonna do here stroll around and have fun huh well almost we can leave drinking water and food in the arena and they'll take out their rubbish there no Sammy they'll deal with the rubbish themselves you'll only need to remove it from time to time all right so let's set the plugs in places first we'll insert the solid plugs by the way if we want to enlarge our colony we can connect additional pathways here all plugs are in their places connect the pathways to the arena carefully we'll need this tube to do it it'll be a cross way let's insert it into the opening in the arena and connect it to the pathways like this and done shall we and my pants no no Sammy first we need to moisturize the chambers remember yes fine fine let's see like I said there are two places for moisturizing here and here when the colony is small moisturizing one section is enough we can add some water from a special dropper or set an automatic moisturiser - all right then let's fill this file with water it's important to use only the purest water now I'll plug the vial with a special sponge turn it over and place it on twits place now the former carrion will be moisturized automatically that's right look the plaster is turning grey you did everything right ah no the second files for the second moisturizer and the third one hits a drinking bowl let's assemble a stand for it we'll insert these pieces here and place the vial with water and a sponge here now let's place it into yurina now what that's writing own OCME we can start decorating only after the ants settle in come let's invite them into their new apartment right let's cover the pathways to make them dark and cozy for the ants I'll give them some seeds to snack on make sure the food doesn't block the entrance to the pathways and now we can let the ants out cotton pad away and now and now we wait Sammy it can take some time the ants are actively exploring their new home they seem to be interested in water sure water is very important water can looks like they started stashing food holden they liked the food no wonder they have a selection up three meals there's so clever they know exactly what to do come on you know oh yes they're exploring them wonderful Suzy hi this is a man says the first ant farm no Sammy we have run our ants there and these are harvester ants mess horse truck doors harvesters they harvest grains say like seeds very much they use their mandibles to grind seeds into flour to feed baby ants now walking now something like that right all the ants are in the forma karyam we can remove this and that as well yes yummy we can start it's important to keep in mind that all the core elements should be clean ok let's down from the street won't do what knows Tammy it certainly won't it's better not to get the ants any items from the street including food so we're going to have some sand and colored hubble's will imitate the sea I wouldn't mind living here myself well you have to become tiny for that no no I like my size all right then bring me some artificial plants a melon and I'll place these pretty stones here let's place them here and let's offer a pretty friend for our ants Oh awesome great I hope yeah it's like it too listen Susie do the ants have enough air oh sure Sammy actually ants don't have lungs like many other animals they have their own breathing system and they also have two stomachs they process food in one for themselves and they keep food to share with the other ants in the second stomach oh that's some friendship whoo whoa it's efficient for them and I will love watching them move their antennae as if they're sniffing out something oh that's actually what they do they feel the world around them that way Susie what sighs well this colony be hi oh no Sammy harvester ants can create colonies from 500 to 50,000 specimen so we can only watch and wait Wow amazing creatures I'm glad we started one more colony we can compare the behavior that these species now guys you liked our new colony in a thumbs up and if we get this video to 10,000 thumbs up we'll shoot another video about our ants subscribe to the channel to see even more interesting and educational videos about animals and things around us bye bye [Music] you
