Seems like it. i just hope they will take some soon before the hole fungus dies.

[Shadown]

Okay i shall try that out. I feed them a lot of different leafs now but it seems they don't like them... ?

Give rose petals. My Atta and Acromyrmex love very much petal.

[JimmyVe]

Okay i shall give it a try Shadown, thank you.

Petals is good nutrition for fungus. Petal is moist and ants not tire easily cut it.

[JimmyVe]

I give them some, now it waiting and hoping it works out.

Hehe they jsut don't wanna now do they ^^.
My Fungus is no around 6 inches (think thats like 14cms)
in all lengths seeing its acircular one.
Hope youre Acros get a move on.

[JimmyVe]

I hope so to. Still not much movement in the nest. Damn.

[Shadown]

[JimmyVe]

Yes, and you must keep ants about 26-28 celsius or progress is very slow (...or perhaps ants or fungus die... i dont know).
Humidity not be important for your Acromyrmex, but it must be over 60% in fungus chamber.

(Atta (sexdens etc.) must keep unter 26 celsius.)

[JimmyVe]

They are kept daytime between 25-30°c at night between 22-28°c and i try to keep the humidity between 50 and 80%.

I always kept them this way and it was never a problem until the fungus was dying.

what is the temperature that a leaf cutter queen becomes infertile or is it just the atta species

22-28 it is okey (22-25 progress is slow), but 29-30 perhaps too hot for fungus and perhaps ants.

Unter 60% humidity is slow. It must be over 60%.

I dont know. Perhaps 35+ celsius?
