ANTSTORE World of Ants

[tombud10]

Hello!!

I am planning on buying a colony of Myrmica rubra with a Queen and placing them in my Antworks gel ant farm. Is this recommended as it is quite a small environment. Also, will these Ants built tunnels? I had a few Lasius Niger and they all died without tunnelling at all. Is it a good idea to use queen ants in antworks in general? If not, can i order Ants through Antstore without a queen? I want a decent amount of Ants (At least 30)

Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thanks!!

Don't use Antworks, its a piece of sh*t. Eventually the ants will allways die. Buy a real ant farm, if you want to enjoy your ants for more than just a few weeks.

Does anyone have experiences about connecting gel nest to ordinary ant farm?

Hi tombud and welcome to the forum.

First of all, Nuem is wright Antworks is sh*t, i sad it before and I'm going to say it again, i don't understand why they shell it !

If you really are interested to keep ants, make are buy a real ant farm to keep them in. Workers without a queen have no meaning in live so they are not going to live long and they are not going to do much.
Read a bit on the forum and than if you are still interested buy a young colony Lasius niger ore some other easy species.

@ pphakkar: why would you do such a crazy thing ?

lol
Not a problem i'm glad i can help.

if i where you i would not connect a gel nest to a 'normal' farm. just keep you normal farm. that is much better than a gel nest.
