ANTSTORE World of Ants

[baumarkthammer]

It is true that Harpegnathos saltator as well as Harpegnathos venator can walk on glass. And not only glass by the way but also I observed them walking over talkum and even oil.
So that isn´t the problem. I would much rahter worry about the lenght of the way they have to walk to the basin.

But well we will see when you get your Harpegnathos venator.

Hello Baumarkthammer , thankyou for the advice , i didnt know about them walking over talkum or oil , im glad i have a fine mesh lid on the top of my tank now. All i have to do is wait for them to arrive , hopfully it will be this week but apparently the temperture is still not high enought to send

Will hope they arrive soon

Hello Vasile , thankyou very much mate , Im hoping to get plenty videos of the ants foraging in it soon.

Well thats a hard thing to do when keeping them.^^


I´m very curious to see how they will adapt to the outworld, since it isn´t completley how I would have made it but it certainly isn´t bad.

I wish you more luck with keeping them than I had!

Hey Adam,

Do you offer them live prey or prekill it?

Regards,
Vasile

[adam james]

Hello Vasile they are offered live prey the crickets are mini crickets so they are able to quickly kill them , they attacked and killed a big spider aswell i had found crawling across my floor so dropped it in there tank.

Thanks for the quick response. I was just thinking perhaps they're not being fed as much as they could be, they are large ants and require a LOT of protein !

Cheers,
Vasile

[adam james]

Hello Vasile they do have alot of live food , i place at least 5 -6 live mini crickets in there outworld each day , there are several running around the outworld so they have plenty to feast upon , there is usally 2 -3 in the nest chamber they have caught when i look and the gasters on are the ants are extended so they are very well fed.
