I've seen other ant enthusiast's channels all are interesting but never really motivated me to start my own ant farm but you bravo! You literally gave every piece of basic information anyone would need especially someone who literally got into ants from an ant game I honestly can't wait to start my new found hobby also from the uk and would love to know how you got into ant farming and how you acquire your knowledge did you study for it or did find out along your awesome journey and would love to here back from you 😁

Should i feed the ants in their home (the setup) or foraging area. And how do i prevent them from settling in the foraging area.

Do you know Gabs Ameisen from germany? I started because of his videos and now i make them myself! I love your vids!
