Hello Antjordan, Il have a chat with John and see if i cant get it back up agian ok mate

Hey! thanks a lot I really appreciate it!

[mathew_dolan]

Is there another link for the care sheet? The link is dead.

Thanks

[SteveUK28]

i do not think there is at present, Il see if i can get a copy of it.. and then post it up in the forums. Its kind of hard catching John about.. As soon as ive done it il post here to let you all know

[SteveUK28]

ok at present i cannot get a copy so instead.. Take a look at the FAQs here in begineer forum, where there should be all the answers you really need.

Also ive found a good site with some very good information both generaly on ants and care.. Feel free to take a look :

I know this is random but can I use cotton wool instead of granulate to keep mould and all sorts out?

[miszt]

huge apologize for the downtime over at formicopedia, had big problems with the database, and really didnt want to loose everything, so I've had to very carefully unpick the mess that was made by a recent upgrade i installed, we will be back soon! along with the caresheets, I'll post a direct link up soon as I get back this eve

@Ant Head

You do not eliminate the mold risk by using cotton wool, I've had tons of mold in my cotton wool. It did not seem toxic tho, as my queen (I've let her move into a new one anyway) lived fine with it. I was very afraid of mold earlier, and moved other queens immediately upon noticing the slightest sign of mold. It does not seem to be necessary to do anything about it at all, and I only moved my current queen (by connecting test tubes and let her transfer herself) because the mold was extreme, and she needed water.
She even laid more eggs after a slight hibernation period of a month's time.

She will eventually, and almost for sure if you use cotton wool with Formica, pluck bits off to cover pupae so they can spin cocoons or just for who knows why throw it all over, so be sure to use non-bleached wool..

Okay cheers for the advice, so I shouldn't worry about the mould some much, thanks for the help once again!
