ive got a Tetramorium caespitum queen that has eaten all her eats does anyone know if this species will lay again after eating her first batch?
she should do, Tetra are not hard to rear from queen, maybe give her a couple of fruit flys, cover her up and leave her alone for at least the next 5-7 days
ive left her alone for a month and a half but ive given her some fuitfly's last night instead of protein gelly to see if that does anything i hope she does lay eggs
check she is not gettin to hot or cold, also that the tempreture is fairly stable where she is, also check the moisture levels, is it to dry or to wet in the test tube? Often moisture droplets will form if there are constant tempreture changes, this can easily drown brood
the test tube is dry there water on one end of the cotton in there though and the temp is stable
she may not be fertilized in that case, did the eggs develop at all when you first got her?

nope it eat them a couple of days after i got her my Camponotus ligniperda queen did the same thing but she laid more eggs and there now cacoons and i got her only a couple of days before
what tempreture are you keep her at? are you keeping her in the dark?
im keeping her at room temp and she's in complete darkness
how do you know the tempreture is stable, have you monitored it? ur not being very cooperative considering I'm trying to help u here :P unless your willing to give a little bit of information, theres really not much i can suggest to help...
rooms in houses very rarly stay at a stable tempreture, infact the diffrence can be as much as 15-35C, and when a colony does not have the oppertunity to move to a cooler or warmer area (for eg wen in a test tube), this can lead to big problems
well i don't have a thermometer yet getting one when my Camponotus ligniperda caccooons hatch but judgeing by my motherboards temp my rooms in the mid 20's
