I don't now how much water is in there but i think they if they are thirsty they will come out. ;)

good at least if there is any inside the tube they will come out but i beleive there will be enough i will keep a watch in thw water levels in the test tube they are in and all should go well
i have had them for about five weeks now :)

and everything is still good, so ... don't worry to much. ;)

yeah i think there be fine i have now added two very thin blankets to keep more heat in as i checked temp this morning before light came on and it was 4 degress c so i added more blankets :)
was this good idea or not ?

i don't think 4°c is going to hurt them, but to be sure you can keep it between 5-10°c

sithmaster676: (10. Nov 2006 19:54)

i think the blankets will only add a degree or 2.
the main reason for the blankets are to keep some heat in it other night as the temp outside the shed is currently about -2 - 3 degres

I don't think an extra blanket will do the trick. If you don't have the heater just the blanket will not keep them any warmer. I think you keep the colony in the test tube so just close it up nicely with some cotton and put them in the fridge. That's it. No more worries.

sithmaster676: (10. Nov 2006 21:25)

no i prefer to leave them where they are at the moment and i do not wish to move them as the whole test tube is covered in sand so moving them would desturb them

p.s. i do not mean this post in a horrible way to mpir i just do not agree
