im just trying to convince mine to leave the test tube , all this wasted labour lol
I havnt made a ytong for them yet
I want them to stay in the 2 test tubes ive given to them until they reach numbers of atleast 70+
might be a bit late to add to this boys but just out of curiosity which seeds do ur messors prefer? mine have a massive store of the tiny blue seeds u get in the mixed packets from antstore + edu- sci. i think only about 1 ant knows about the stockpile. this was a grafter i tell ya! :) fair old pile of them and they are not easy to find these wee blue boys! fascinating stuff to watch!!
Mine like almost all seeds that are not to big to carry. ;)
honestly, they were very very fussy off the blue ones. ive got a large variety off seeds and the go to great lengths to find these ones. that includes lifting the larger ones! :P. im sure some larger workers will put an end to this trend!! you cant beat a rhyme.
If the seeds are to big they will carry them back out, they can not use big seeds.
by blue seeds u might mean poppy seeds???
Hey everyone!!! im bk after loooong time hehe, its good to say that my Messors are alive and kicking and have come out of hibernation quite some time ago. I will update my dairy asap once i get the oppertunity .xD
Aah, the joys of a non-hibernating Messor species. ^^ *beams*
