I was wondering what you do whit your colonies if you go on a holiday ?
Who feeds them and take care of them ? Ore how do you do it...

In my case my mom give them food, honey and water. But she do not clean the out world, that is my job if i come back from holiday.

i have been on holiday for two weeks this summer and all of my colonies survived fine all i do is give them plenty of food e.g. honey water to feed of a i use a form tubing so that they have a lot of honey water at there disposal and i give them a large spider each before i go so that the brood will be alright but usually ants can survive that long without food as long as they have water.

I was of home one month this summer, and Skippy was good choice for me, but some ants wasn´t feeded good, but Skippy didn´t have so much time to control them all....

[Messorus]

Yes, I know, and I acept it

Hmm....should go the far way to give my ants to skippy when i want to go on long holiday. Seems to be an real good ant keeper

I had a colony with about 60 workers, went on vacation for a week and thought I left enough water for them. When i got home I found a huge pile of dead ants. All died except one worker and the Queen. I felt horrible.... I can tell you how proud of the workers I was because they probably saved the last few drops of water for the Queen. After a year and after really spoiling them out of guilt, the colony was strong and I let them all go in my back yard the next summer.

Skippy as HAK, that is to far for me. i'm not planning to put my ants in the yard I hope my mom will do it next time again, but now i have more ants than the last time so...
