Varban: Coco Pops (25. Jul 2007 18:03)

Hey I put a coco pop in the test tube and i noticed it has been dragged all the way inside at the end of the test tube and my queen is on it. I think she is trying to eat it :) anyone else tried coco pops as a food source?

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_Pops <- for those who don't know what coco pops is :)

I think it could be good food for Messor ,or Tetramorium ,but hmm ... insects and honeywater are better I think ;) ,because they getting into it "E" chemicals and colours ,and some could be bad for ants :( ;) ,so ... I am not sure if your practice is good ;)

no worries skippy my coco pops have no aritificial colours or flavours :) 100% pure puffed rice covered with chocolate :D

It's hard to tell if she is eating but i took a look with my red diod inside the dark tube a few times and she is on it the whole time :) could it be i finally found food my queen likes :D
