Alex-B: My Lasius niger arrived! (9. Apr 2008 10:07)

[font=Comic Sans MS] [/font]

Ive caught some small spiders for my Lasius Niger colony and some of them had their own eggs attached to their abdomens should i feed them the spiders eggs too???

Alex-B: MY L.NIGERS arrived!!!! (9. Apr 2008 18:34)

YAAAAY
HOOOOORAY
THEY ARRIVED!!!

1.Can the queen climb the glass wall?
2.If i connect the test tube (16-17 workers 1 queen) to the farm will rthey not die of starvation because there would be no place to put the food?
TY

Some other questions i have due to their behaviour!

1. I put 2 drops of honey mixed with 3 drops of water(in wool) in the feeding dish and 2 ants came up and examined and put there noses on and climbed on it. Is this Feeding?
If not can i just put a drop of honey (no water) in the feeding dish with more wool?

Every thing else seems pretty good!!
ill try to get some pics of the setup maybe!!

They will probably eat the eggs to. So i don't think it would harm to give the eggs to your ants.

Glad for you Alex.

Yes the queen can climb glass wall.

It is better to put the tube into the out world, that way you can feed them and they can stay in the tube until they like to move. (connect the out world with the farm)

Good luck with them Alex :)

Maybe you could combine all Alex's threads into one Jimmy? would make sense

yea if put a spider on the outside of the testube and they emidiatelly dragged it in will they take it out when the queen finishes or will they leave it to rot inside? THEY LOVED IT!!

miszt: (10. Apr 2008 16:51)

they will move it out once they are finished with it

What other ways are there of moisturising the farm? My straw down the side is no working well.

Thank You In Advance
