Lasius flavus or Lasius niger?

[jartok]

[gabranth]

are they big crickets or small ones?

[jartok]

there small and really soft there first gen workers i have chopped it up

[gabranth]

they should be ok try giving them sugar/honey solution as they won't be needing protein that much now hibernation is on the way

[JimmyVe]

In deed, they don't need much food now, they probably are preparing for hibernation.

[jartok]

ok good i finally acquired space in my mums shed on the shelv so tuesday ill be moving them in there. the water in tube will not dry out will it ? over months

[JimmyVe]

Normally not, but it is best to check on them once in a while.
