Now the question- How do I get compo to lay more eggs?

How do I get them to lay more eggs and get there eggs to hatch and get the larve to grow fast.

I only got them yesterday how can I get her to lay eggs?

I really need help fast what do i do to save this colony?

Ok I just checked my queen now as I opend the draw i seen her abdomen in her houth do you think she is laying eggs?

will my queen eat fish falkes???

The queen died last night for no reason

Where can I get a new queen from and by the way the queen died.

If you take good care of your ants they wont die.

The ants have moved into there new e
nest it is like bugzys but is only has 2 chambers one with sand and one without. I hope they start laying soon.

remember what i told you about my [m.] Messor barbarus, dont check up on them for several days ( 1 week - 2 weeks ) as it will stress them out

New update 13 july- The ants have gone down to 2 workers but they now have around 20 larve and eggs I am very happy. By the way do there larve grow fast or slow?

[abz-uk-ants]

Update time-21/7/10- There larve grew fast they are upto 4 cocoons and 7+ larve waiting to become cocoons. I cant belive the larve grew from small to big in 8 days. Very cool. I have taken the foraging area of untill they have aroung 10 or so workers as they dont forage at the moment. I will post some pictures on when i get new workers.

Heres the nest I need to get new pictures of the cocound but i might just take a pic when they hatch

Is the nest moist? I think these species love more warm/dry conditions.
