Caught 4 queens, made up some make-shift tubs (I know its not ideal but its my only option). 1 queens was put in a bottle with half filled with sand (Again its not ideal).

A week since i got them, i havent checked on them so far and upon inspection one of my queens had died, i dont know what had happend but the other 3 were ok, The queen in the bottle has dug herself in and is just about out of sight from the side. No eggs yet

a week since the last diary entry and two of my queens both have a small pile of eggs, I say a pile one has about 3 eggs and the other about 5, Still im pleased ive got some, the other queens im unsure about :s

The queen with three eggs has been frantic today trying to choose a spot to put her eggs in, quite funny really.
Comments welcome
