thanks for the help guys i will put a fly in today and tel you how it goes they are about 15 strong but i have found 5 dead ants :sad01:
5 dead workers isn't good for a young colony what are you keeping them in
yea i know thats why i am asking for help i am keeping them in a plastic nest with ready made chambers one chamber of sands and some stones and the other apart from one which has seeds in are empty
also does the fly have to be a newly killed one?
yep newly killed is best
ok just killed one put it in there left for a few mintues it got into another chamber then relised it was totaly dead lol so i properly kill it and 2 ants are exploring it
the ants moved it into the chamber?
they have been feedign from the fly and the queen si in the chamber os sand and bloacked herself up ina ready made hole i made for her and theres 13 works and brood in another chamber feeding from the fly
there we go there now eating something
yea but i want to find them somthing i dont have kill constantly and go looking for like meal worms or somthing i sorta need a constant fod source lol
You can also Chat to each other if you like. But try not to do that here at the forum.
Also zachman, think twice before you post, and if you have nothing to add, don't restart old topics. Thanks.
