Need advice on everything

Beitragvon Camoth » 28. Mai 2013 13:50

Hi there,

I'm thinking about starting a farm (not sure yet). But I need advice, mostly on the type of ants.

Here we go:
1. I need ants that do not hybernate. My fridge isn large enough to store them in
2. I need ants that dont grow into a huge colony. I don have the space to keep thousands of ants and I dont want to kill them or get rid of them.
3. If you can give me a breed, I need to know what they need in terms of food, soil, housing etc.

Thanks in advance!

Fleur

Thank you for your answer!

And these do not hibernate and don't become a huge colony?

edit: I'm also thinking about using a labyrinth setup. Is this possible for these ants?
