yeah ok get what u mean so i take the cover off the tube i have then place next to it a tube with a cover on it so they move there
is this right
and will it cause them any stress

that is what i meant. ;) it is not a 100% sure they move but it is one of the best ways to not give you colony stress (not to much stress) ;)
im not sure whether to do this or not as in 3 days im going on holiday and won't be here for a week so im not sure what to do as i don't want everything to fail while im on holiday

You can try it. if they are not moved to the new tube in 3 days (before you leave) just cover up the old tube again and try again if you are back.
im really not sure about it, it all sounds a bit to stressful for them and last time i looked inside the test tube one of the 4 workers ran out and bite me :(

;) he is a good defender. ;)
hmm... normally this kind of movement is not very stressful for your queen and workers but if it doesn't work after 3 days you need to cover back up the old tube.
maybe its your food your feeding them if its incects freeze them first then feed your ants :eat01:
no i have now gotten rid of the disease i hope it wasnt the food source but something inside the tank so i completely cleaned it out and they are now back in there tank and everything is fine i hope.
i always place the insects i feed my ants into boiling water first just to make sure.

That is the best way to kill bacteria. Hope they will be fine now sith.
