I'm not sure what the problem is pikpika, i think you are doing everything wright, but Messor queens get stressed up easily, i only see at them once a week, and so for they are doing great, but if the queen get stressed she can stop producing eggs.

Thanks for you' reply,
it's a nice days , cause the queen has producing many eggs this night, and they are crazy about fish food, they need more protein for the moment.
Thanks again :P
