ANTSTORE World of Ants

[miszt]

if ur bored after a few days, i think ur just gona go crazy looking after ants tbh mate....they need patience, and they need to be left alone allot to get on with what they do

[mzfckr]

i can wait long but i need to see is there mould on fly.if i check it out it will stress a lot.and i need that red thing for farm.i gived them the fly 2days ago . i need take take the fly out or wait 1more day?

[miszt]

dont worry about the fly, they will move it out of the nest when they are done with it

[mzfckr]

but if theres only 10-15 workers?

[miszt]

dont worry ants are very good at clearing up after themselves, a single ant can easily drag a fly out of a test tube, even a first generation worker

yeah it depends on the wall that the have in there nest if they have no sand say in the test tube they will use it as a means of blocking the nest entrance

[mzfckr]

but why block ? so it will be good to give em sand?
2days no activity seen.i think they do all the jobs at night.

i checked the test tube and they are alive.there are a fly with one wing,no legs and body is much smaller.i red what tail says:

If they can pull an insect into the nest, they also will be able to get rid of it.

so i dont need worrie about ?

NEWS : i found a very dried and not alive dragonfly.do they will eat it?and it is a good idea?

They block the entrance to feel save.

You can feed them lot of things, some they will accept other not, try it out and you will see.

[mzfckr]

ok i will try to give them dragonfly .

edit :
i decided to dont give them that.

[sithmaster676]

maybe a dragon fly is a bit to big for a colony of this size things like spiders may be a better option

[mzfckr]

ok but all insects are sleeping thats the problem.

[mzfckr]

i have an idea.maybe i place the test tube in the farm so they will settle in and will go to the arena.or they dont do that?

[JimmyVe]

If they think it better inside the farm they will move, but that could take a while. It not a bad idea. If you can not catch insects outside you can always buy them at a local pet shop of fishing shop.

[mzfckr]

now they are eating fly.some days ago i saw some egs(5 or 4).later i saw only one but now theres no eggs i think they eated it.and a question.they will go to arena to get some food ar starve at the farm?

[JimmyVe]

If i have a small colony i give them the food as near to there home (farm, tube) as possible without stressing them. So do not put it in the tube but at the entrance.
