Destroying Your Ant Colony Without Realising It? (5 Beginner Mistakes)

Ant colony failing or ant queen acting strange? In this beginner ant-keeping guide, I explain the five most common ant colony mistakes that quietly stress queens and workers — and how to fix them before real damage happens. Most early ant colony problems don’t happen suddenly. They build slowly through small beginner mistakes like overheating ants, unstable temperatures, feeding ants too early, checking ant colonies too often, and moving ants into nests too soon. In this video, you’ll learn: • Why heating an entire test tube stresses ant queens • How temperature instability slows ant brood development • When to feed ants — and when not to • Why light, vibration, and movement delay egg laying • When an ant colony is truly ready to leave the test tube This video is designed for beginner ant keepers, founding queens, and common starter species such as Lasius and Messor. Near the end, I share a simple ant colony survival checklist that prevents most early ant-keeping failures — screenshot it, it works. Upcoming videos cover: • Safe ant heating setups • Feeding schedules by ant species • Why ant queens eat eggs • Why ant colonies look inactive after winter • When and how to wake ants safely If this helped, like, subscribe, and stick around.
