Don't worry badman, they will be if they are bigger. ;)
jimmys right,with the correct food and conditions there will be an explosion of eggs,my messor quees is laying like mad,soon there will be lots of ants
I haven't seen Either colony out of the nest yet, but the ligniperda colony (if 3 ants can qualify as a colony) have moved all their ant poo/mould produced in hibernation to plug up the entrance to the test tube. Guess its easier than using the sand?
Could be that they find it easier. ;) 3 ants are a colony but a small one. ;)
mine is not much bigger but there will be much growth this year
these guys have escaped 4 times since waking up. The vaselene isnt working anymore, i applied an extra thick layer and hopefully this will stop them.
Also ligniperda and herculaneus workers look so similar its hard to tell which one has escaped. But I've definitely had escapees from both colonies. Not eaten yet, just doing a lot of scouting!
the only thing the heculaneus have show interest in is a pea. A worker was sat on half a pea for about 20 minutes, all other food ignored at this point.
Ligniperda not eating either...until I gave them fishflakes, the next morning, their tube was full of left-overs. These guys LOVE fishflakes, which isnt surprising since they contain 33.5% protein 12% fat and a range of vitamins
mine ligniperda produce fungus(mould) from fishlakes :P the test tube end is full of fishflakes
If they don't eat the fish flakes you better stop giving them. Camponotus ligniperda don't live from fungus so they don't need fungus in there tube. (probably would not harm them but you are better of without fungus)
I have at heat mat under one corner of the Ligniperda's tank, today a worker has taken the colony's only cocoon and is sitting in the corner with it. I wish I could video them all day, I feel like I am missing lots of interesting activity
