OUR ANT FAMILY RESETTLEMENT TO A NEW HOUSE

At last it has happened! Now our ant family lives in a new big and interesting house with a lot of places for adventure and investigation!
And we've created this new house by ourselves using our 3d-printer.

I've already shown you what we've printed by it for our new formicarium, and now some shots of resettlement itself!


we used such a tube to make a tunnel between houses

We were sure ants would be afraid of a new place, and we would be waiting long for their first steps into it.
But No!

They were ready to come there at once! One after another about a dozen of ants came there and started their investigating running. In an hour or so about a half were inside of a new house!
It was late in the evening, and when the next moring came, we again were sure they all would be there.
But again NO:)) They didn't want to leave an old house so fast.

They are super clever and careful!
It's really a wise decision. Even if it's a cool place, but it's unknown, and nobody knows what will be there, so they just have decided to wait and investigate it more.
Now some days passed, and more than a half live in a new house, but the Queen-Ant, their Mother, and the rest of ants are still in the old house;)

So now they have 2 houses;))
Unexpected variant of events;))
Ok, let's wait more...

What do you think?
Will they leave an old house? Or will they live in 2 houses:)
