I could try seperationg the mini ytong but if i would i would only disturb my ants then something worse could happen. Still good idea if it was possible.
Ant Fridges lol
if camponotus aren't temperature sensetive and hibernate according to body-clock, then when can I expect them to wake up? They've been in hibernation since about late october, both colonies definitely alive, and I've now brought them back inside. They seem happy to stay asleep and are being kept at about 10-18 degrees C. Also how can I prepare for them waking up? Do they start out gradually sending out workers? Or simply spring into action? i don't want to miss them waking up and not have any food waiting for them
Well first are they still in a test tube or do u have them in a setup.. you have to make sure they have drinking water avaiable.. and id also put down some sugar water some honey maybe.. and an insect.. keep trying to temp them.. eventually they will start eating again :)
Yep, if you keep them at 10-18°c they should wake up soon, but it could take a few weeks. You could give them already some sweets and a little insects (like Steve said) so if they decide to wake up they can start feeding.
the ligniperda are still in their tube, the herculaneous are underground but fortunately nested right up against the glass so I can see them clearly.
I'll keep offering them my usual of fish flakes and honey. Dunno where I can find insects this time of year in the city though...
You should start feeding them insects soon, they will need them for the brood, isn't there a pet shop ore a fishing store nearby where they sell stuff ? (like insects ?)
not that i know of. i'll have to check
yuol find crickets at a local reptile shop, pet shops rarely stock them unless they sell reptiles or even a garden centre that might have reptiles will have them, if not a maggots from the tackle shop allow some to turn to flies and there ya go......
Sounds like hard work to me....but I did find a site that sells a little kit to breed your own wingless fruit flies. Aha! This way the maggots arrive at my own doorstep!
got them today, not wingless, but definitely flightless. A thriving tupperware colony. I wish my ant colony was this active!
