not bad at all Arcais. I still think it is rather small for a hole colony to live in. But to start with it is perfect. ;)

@miszt: good thinking. ;)

@Uncletommy: Good luck to you, hope you give them a nice home.

As i said, he will try what?
Try to make a real Antfarm or try to use the Antworks to see what happens?

try to get them to live in here

Frico: (31. Jul 2007 21:25)

You didnt answer my question!Be more specific, i cant use "here" for anything!
But i can imagine you mean the Antworks, since you alldready have it.
Don't do it.Don't try it.Don't think the outcome of your Colony will be any different auf the others.Fact is, these are living animals, i think experimenting in some way is okay, but NOT if the outcome alldready is known!They wont live well, they will slowly die!

(If you ment a real Antfarm, then im sorry for doubting you.)

I'm sorry Uncletommy but i must agree with Frico, don't try this ! Many people did it before you and it does not work.

We need to band together and have that f*$king Gel farm BANNED. How dare antworks produce something that it knows will make any ants placed in it die a slow lingering death? It's an inhumane money making scheme. antworks laughs all the way to the bank while unsuspecting and uninformed public buys the ant farms and places their precious ants in them only to tumble down the black hole that ant works has created. Wish we on this website could do something about it collectively.

I had one of these gel ant farms b4. I had 4 or 5 workers in it and they seemed fine but i wuldnt dream of putting a queen in one. A its inhumane B they tend to be way to small for a colony anyways and C way to expensive; get urself a glass basin or a ytong nest, u get more value for ur money and a nicer home for ur colony. Good luck with watever u decide to do.

Antworks is designed to put ants inside. The Gel gives the ants vuel to stay alive.
When you put a nest in the antworks gel the queen don't got enough food of the gel. She'll probably stay alive but won't produce any ants because of the simple fact; thear isn't the right food in the gel.
If i where you I'd put the test tube to a (ice cream? or another cheap box) box. It's very easy, drill a hole in the box and put the test tube inside.
When the nest grows you can connect the box with the antworks farm. The ants will dig into the antworks farm because thear is food (you still got the effect and didn't bought the antworks for no reason) if they want they can settle down. If they don't want to settle down let them stay in the test tube.

(i guess the antworks gel is only a sugar-water gel with blue color, !didn't read the antfarm posts!)

Hope you'll try it.

Gr,

Thomas

Its an older post Thomie. It put here as a Sticky because some people think they can raise a colony in a antworks farm. It not made for that (as we explained) Nether to use like you said, as a peace of the farm. If you like keeping ants its best you don't do that in a antworks farm.

Okey, is thear a problem with the a chemical?? or is thear another reason?
