Rich2046: Delivery of ants (30. Apr 2010 01:18)

Hi all, I have a general question to ask? I recently ordered a Lasius niger colony from antstore and am awaiting delivery, the only problem I have is in the UK we have a bank holiday on Monday, so my ants wont arrive till tuesday at the earlist!!! My question is will my Ants be ok till this long?? Many Thanks Rich.

How many ant did you buy? Because how more you order, how more deadths. But it is unusual that all ants will die.
Otherwise they will be ok.
My friend had an Lasius niger colonz to, and give them for 3 months nothing and no non did die.
greetz, karsten

Ive had this problem before. Yh they should be ok as Lasius niger are very hardy, but next time in the comment box when you buy them put a future date for your order to be posted out on, eg the day after the bank holiday.
