i found a replacement for my test tube, it is a cover for a tooth brush and it looks just like it but its plastic and a little blurry to look through but yet a replacement, how would i get her to move to it?

My advice:

Put one tube in to the other one or at least one opening right next to the other. Let the water in the old tube dry out and make sure that in the new one there is a lot of water. Also cover new one with something so that it will be more dark. After a while queen will realize that the new tube is a better home and she will move there by herself.

Good luck

ok well the old tube drying out should be fine because it is all black with mold so i think she will be quick to move =)

[JimmyVe]

It could take a while, but with a little patience she will move.

How is the brood development going?

[ralphdrake]

she is yet to move i have tryed feeding her more often to try and stop her from eating her young, she has about 6 larvae all in 2nd stage and about 3 eggs, so its really taking its time *looks at watch*

That's what ant keeping is about. Watching and waiting.

hello people my apologies for not being on the site in awhile or replying to any posts but im back, well update on my queen well she is gone i let her go, i just dont think she cut it she just kept eating her larvae and when they got big and she was full with honey water she still ate them so since i only have 1 test tube i let her go so maybe i could find a queen to fill that space.

i really didnt want to but i think it was just a circle with her

That is okay ralphdrake.
Maybe that is the best solution. Just start up with another one.
