I'm Building a Living MINI-FOREST & My GIANT Ants' Reaction to It Is INCREDIBLE! 🌲

Starting with a simple glass container, I'm building a new home for my Camponotus ligniperdus ants: a beautiful, lifelike forest vivarium! Join me on this adventure, from the inspiration found in the woods to the finished masterpiece.

In this video, I'll show you:
🌲 How I create a miniature forest landscape using branches, moss, real plants, and a special soil mix.
🐜 The creation of a unique nest that looks like the inside of a tree trunk to give the ants the perfect home.
👑 The nerve-wracking relocation of the entire colony and their huge queen into the new vivarium.

The big question is: Will the ants accept this lovingly crafted nest, or do they have their own plans? The move becomes a suspenseful affair, and there are some unexpected surprises—including a secret hidden inside a small acorn.

Find out if this ambitious project is a success and if the ants feel at home in their new kingdom!

Hope you enjoy the video!
