Hi everyone,
I pretty new to the ant scene. Last year I found a queen ant (inside my apartment of all places . I bought one of those ant farms and placed the queen inside.
The first few weeks she started laying eggs and 2 of these hatched into larvae. Unfortunately, it seemed like she at them.
I've now had the queen for almost a year and she has laid many batches of eggs. However, to my frustration, not of the eggs seem to hatch. They tend to become yellow and shrivel/dry up. Is this possible? Has this happened to anyone with ant farms containing little moisture?
Recently I've tried adding water to the ant farm. But I would appreciate if anyone could give me some pointers on how to get these eggs to actually hatch and not dry up.
Many thanks,
Nick
