your not the only one purifier,i to did not know this intresting though.........like they say u learn something new everyday

[Kalkoman]

Just a question about the P. Pallidulas: How long does it take from egg to hatched worker?

[Gubischubi]

I can only guess, but i think less than one month.

[JimmyVe]

I'm not totally sure about that (mine are in a sand nest so i don't see it) but about 2 weeks from egg to larva and another 2 weeks to hatch. So yes about a month.

[Kalkoman]

Thanks ! My Pallidulas are very few at the moment (about 6 ants), so I'm glad the hatching-process is rather quick in comparison with other species

[JimmyVe]

Yes it is rather quick, don't worry they will be a nice big colony soon.




Let is know who you are,

Thanks !

[Kalkoman]

I hope so! Do you know any food that they really really like?

[JimmyVe]

Mine eat all the insects i give them; grasshoppers, spiders, dubia's, red runners, meal worms, pinky's, fly's, crickets, etc... also they love these to very much;

Mine do not like seeds, but you can try to give it to them.

Hey Jimmy u know u said about seeds n grains n urs dont eat them.. Wellll i tried mine with some tonight.. and they are going mad.. about 50 workers come out of the test tube and they have been draggin them all back to the test tube... largest peice is prob the size of 1 ant.. ive seen 1 ant carrying a grain on her own but some have like 5 ants to one bit.. its well mad.. kewl tho

[ant dude]

btw steve how big is your colony???(just curious btw )

[miszt]

I've been feeding by pheidologeton with hamster food, they love it! Good source of carbohydrates and protien, and minirals/vitamins might be worth a try, and for your Pheidologeton to

[SteveUK28]

@antdude.. i believe there is around 100-150 workers 3 soilders.. did have 4 but i found 1 dead

Ive also found a few ants crawlin outside the tub lol.. i aint got a darn clue how they got out.. PTFE all around the sides and vaseline.. DAM they are masters lol

[ant dude]

i cannot make my ytong at the mo........as it makes 2 much mess aswell as theres no room 2 make it in my shed as my dad will batter me if i go in there again altho i'm acshely nearly sortta done on it.......it looks like i'm gonna have 2 do it outside then or somthink........


kk steve, u got quite a big colony then aint yer..

[JimmyVe]

@ steve: Okay they drag it inside but are they eating it ? If i give mine seeds they drag them inside but they don't eat it and if the seeds get moist they hatch and than you have weeds in your tube.
But it is possible that they will eat it. Just keep an eye on them.
