A MASSIVE ANT TERRARIUM "Hacienda Del Dorado"

Click here to SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/tlCQJZ Follow us: http://www.twitter.com/antscanada http://www.facebook.com/antscanada Constructing the Hacienda Del Dorado (live stream): https://goo.gl/9qIYjG A huge war between The Golden Empire (Yellow Crazy Ants) and mites has been underway and we initially hoped exposing the ants to lemons would help rid them of their mites. However, 4 weeks later the mites have persisted and after speaking with some biologists we learned that the ants needed to be moved out of their home asap. By popular vote, the Golden Empire's new home was going to be a huge planted terrarium, one we call the Hacienda Del Dorado. Watch the drama unfold as the ants continue forward against this epic war vs mites.

16. how do you collect your ants ?
17. 300 years later: Hey guys i bought the entire United States also with the milkyway.
18. the reason why might say cos in certain particular environments such as this is when the ground or the structure itself is all dried up and has no moisture to it for example if you go outside in the wilderness and come across these you noticed the ground underneath is quite moist and then on top of it is just dirt and dust
    
    I should dig down to claim one of these particular and you notice that the ground starts to become moisture and also quite gloomy and damp but they are easy to live in this particular mites unfortunate the mice only can live in a dry environment
    
    sand soil any particular dirt need to be moist on a certain basis to stop mic from developing yes you have a certain problems to do with a drought which indicates and mites can grow on top of the surface but if the ground underneath is moisture with loads of water then you have a surviving chance for your answer not to get any mites on to them
19. I don't know why I am watching this video, but it is interesting.
20. this seems like a legit Animal Planet thing O: this is so awesome!
