There are a baby boom in the Formica colony. There are a huge heap of brood in the test tube.

Hello all...

Are you using a test tube only with water then cotton ball?

Is the other end of the test tube open or closed?

thnx

It is a test tube with water and cotton ball and then comes the ants. I placed it in an arena and removed the cotton ball from the end. And I put some very loose cotton pile in the arena. One of them was dragged in after a week. So it is not so open, but the ants can walk in and out as they like.

Gotcha,

I'll adopt the same.

I have had mine closed with another cotton ball at the end but this may stress them a bit I would imagine.

Queen alone and small colony is better in a closed test tube. They did not like to be open at all. If you have more ants then you can open the test tube in an arena. But it is a good idea to put something in that they could barricade themshelf with. Most of the time it is sand.
My colony is almost 1 year old, that's why I opened them up.

I do it the same like Acerola only i open the tube if there is 1 ore 2 workers.
