Yourpredator: Should I buy Lasius niger now? (28. Aug 2007 19:35)

The title says it.. The problem is though they start hibernating around now right? Would they not build their nest or just stay still and nothing? :cry:

You can buy it now ,you´ll receive it in test tube so it is not problem ... and now they are the cheapiest ,because they have many of this spec. ,in winter or at spring are docks a bit empty ,so now is time to buy some... ;) I think

Do you have to hibernate the ants :(?

you dont have to, but you should, because thats the way they behave in the wild, and they will live longer :) you will also find that after hibernation there will be a mass explosion in the population during the spring ;) read up on hibernating on the threads on here
