matt-man123: A quick question :S (2. Jan 2009 21:27)

hi i am new here and put english for my country but also russian for reference :)

ok i have brought a very small ant farm and will be getting around 10 lasius niger workers tommorow but unfortinatly the sellers were out of queens so how long will my workers stay alive for without a queen????

tail__: Re: A quick question :S (2. Jan 2009 23:14)

A year maybe, but probably less if they were captured as adults. Anyway they will only want to escape. Keeping a few workers is completely senseless. Be patient, learn a bit about ants and get the queen in summer.

well im sorry but my dad brought me that for xmas so im not going to do that :0

what if i get more workers ???

Hello matt and welcome.

Sorry to say but i think you need to read a bit around the forum first (or Internet). Learn about ants by reading a lot and if you still have questions later, just ask.

matt-man123: Re: A quick question :S (4. Jan 2009 20:40)

i have read alot :)

not meaning to be rude :)

JimmyVe: Re: A quick question :S (5. Jan 2009 13:42)

Still i think there is lot to learn. ;) Keeping ants is fun but you need to learn about ants before you keep them. (i think that works for all "pets")

matt-man123: Re: A quick question :S (5. Jan 2009 17:44)

sorry i totally agree but i hate when people say read more and they dont actually now how much u have read already :)

JimmyVe: Re: A quick question :S (6. Jan 2009 09:39)

True, but i can see on what you are writing here that you just don't know enough to keep these ants.
For example, a colony without a queen is useless. The workers have no goal in live. They will just sit there and die. It doesn't matter if you buy more workers.
I even don't understand why that person is selling only workers to you ?

matt-man123: Re: A quick question :S (6. Jan 2009 17:27)

i know that a colony minus a queen is useless but i thought i would ask to see !

*sigh*

JimmyVe: Re: A quick question :S (7. Jan 2009 09:45)

;) okay, now i understand.
