I have come back from a 2 week holiday and there is surface mould in the nesting area of my Aphaenogaster senilis (on one side). My brother has been feeding them for me, and, since I went away the buildings heating came on - im guessing the warmer temp has caused the mould to develop.
The ants have been fine/active but they have now moved the entrance to the nest away from the mouldy area. I have no idea how to remedy this - removing the mould will disturb them. I have no idea how to add ventilation either.
I have 'ANTSTORE Starter Set - glassfarm/arena - classic' and was going to hibernate them in the next few weeks.
Any ideas???
Thanks
Gary
