The colony in the plaster nest warmed by the warming stone eat two tenebrion pups ,two decorticate sunflower seeds , honey water (as much as they can drink in one hour) every day .
The colony in the cement ( reconstitute stone) nest eat only one tenebrion pup every two days and seeds take several days to be consumed and about 1/3 of the quantity of honey water consumed by the bigger colony .
I must make a small correction about what I had said 10 days ago : The smallest colony is warmed by the new warming matte at about 25°c since 10 days ago (not 27°c).
After unsuccessful attempts in the past I try again to start colony's of Solenopsis fugax (or S. monticola ?)
with two queens and I procured also one small colony (one queen and her first workers).
I try not to make the same mistakes than before and if successful I would like to open a new subject
for Solenopsis.
The main food of my two Tetramorium colony's is mostly Tenebrion pups and sun flower seeds that I buy from animal shop and give after removing the husk . Before the biggest colony was exploiting the seeds on the spot
but now they drag each seed in the tube (going to their nest) where they gnaw it .
The biggest colony is in the plaster nest 6+1 (sold by Antstore ) . The main nest of 6 rooms is covered by a light proof plastic cover that I lift sometime just to have quick look in the nest, no problem . I pierced the
arena-room with two passages of about half a cm diameter and kept it as a supplement room covered with a red foil, but it does not work . The Tetramoriums are covering the window from inside with mood . It seems that the red foil (of soft plastic) does not work for Tetramorium so I am going to cover it with a black foil .
Sorry I wanted to say mud or dirt .
