Like badman said. Maybe the temperature is better there. As long if she is taking care of them everything should work out well.

Small update - The queen is still alive and well/active but the remaining eggs have not hatched yet and I recon its been about 4 weeks. Temperature next to the tube is a steady 26c.....

JimmyVe: (11. Apr 2008 18:06)

26°c should be fine. Are there no larva yet ?

what are different in thes species from messor barbarus?

Gary D: (12. Apr 2008 11:38)

Jimmy - there are no larva :(

If none hatch at all then can I ask for another queen??

Same for me here ... having a Messor ebeninus queen for nearly 2 month... There are eggs all the time but no larvae ...

JimmyVe: (13. Apr 2008 13:38)

I'm not sure about that Gary but i think you can. (Still you can write a note to Antstore about it)

Sorry to hear that Paranoid,
I have this species to for a few weeks now (queen only) mine has larva at this moment so i hope there will be workers soon.

Gary D: (5. Mai 2008 16:16)

Still nothing im afraid. I have emailed Antstore. Was really looking forward to keeping this species too :(

JimmyVe: (5. Mai 2008 17:20)

Sorry to hear that Gary.

Mine already has a lot of workers at this moment.
