It seems that your cat likes your ants to. ;)
You both have nice setups.
Like McK said, they don't like tubes very much. If you heat up your ytong with a heat mat, they will move quick to the ytong.
(i finally made them a ytong today, they are in a big tube for about 2 weeks now. I will move them to the ytong tomorrow or the day after :) )
mine moved out of the test tube in like 10 minutes.. as soon as it was in the setup they was all out lookin about.. They seem to love it.. There is always 2 in the test tube tho.. chewing away at the wool.. either they are drinking.. or they really dont like the wool.
Hiya guys,
Just a quick update. Ive covered over the nest so they can just get on with things... I was a little worried that the queen had died in transport.. but it seems she has not. I took a peek today to find a lovely bunch of larvae looking very healthy and wriggling about.. and very pink.. so obviously been fed. So happy days the colony is doing great and will hopefully increase fast :D
Another something i have noticed... im using a bird feeder to keep them with fresh water.. which has cotton filter so they dont drown.. the first night it was in there i woke and all the water was gone.. Now thats a lof of water for ants to have drunk it all.. and the sand around it was still resonabily dry.. i just dont understand how they could have emptied it all in one night.. very strange :?
Apart from that.. all is great.. sorry about the quality of the pics.. just couldnt seem to get it focused right this morning.. Enjoy :mrgreen:
Looks great! They pile of larvae looks familiar :P
aint it bud.. ive never seen ants with larvae like this lol.. pretty awesome i have to admit :) How big is your colony now?
Something around 100 workers, they never seem to stop accepting food lol
do you give it live? And what kind of things are you feeding them ?
The only thing I give them live are mealworm larvae because they can't defend themselves.
I give them cockroaches, fruitflies and mealworms.
Ok new pics guys..
They are doing brilliant.. taking a lot of food.. and really like the sugar cube i gave them.. Its pretty mad how they rest the food they take into the nest on top of the larvae for the larvae to eat it themselves.. Its pretty kool :) :grin:
Anyways hope you like the pics.. light wasnt great but the pics aint to bad :)
@jimmy.. hope they aint too big mate.. if they are il make them a bit smaller next time :D
looking bloody good steve. do they hunt live food becuase i heared they scavinge
