kk steve, u got quite a big colony then aint yer..:grin:
@ steve: Okay they drag it inside but are they eating it ? ;) If i give mine seeds they drag them inside but they don't eat it and if the seeds get moist they hatch and than you have weeds in your tube. ;)
But it is possible that they will eat it. Just keep an eye on them.
Let us know who you are,

Thanks !
well most of the time there is around 3-7 ants around each peice in the test tube.. so i assume they are doing somat to them..
;) hehe. Well we need to be patient and see what they will do with them. Keep us informed.
Let us know who you are,

Thanks !
any news from anyone?
can t you use a moat to stop them escaping? You might get the odd one drowning, but it's a pretty fool-proof method
In my experience, a moat must be one of the least fool proof methods I've used, my ants just float accross. :? . Unless you use oil, but that can be messy.
