Moisture Query

Beitragvon CrewBob » 9. Sep 2010 19:43

Just a general question to know how much water I should be added to my colony.

I have a antstore L starter set and have got a tube going straight done through the sand to the clay peices at the bottom I add a few pippettes of water every few days but I think this isnt enough.

I currently have a Myrmica rubra colony with around 25+ workers and 1 maybe 2 queens.

So if someone can give me a general idea of how much i should be adding and how to tell when it is enough would be great

Here are two pictures of the set up so you get the idea of what I am working with

hi

don't worry
if ans are very close to moist clay pieces, then you are not putting enough water (not necessary)
what I wanted to write is that ants will move closer or further from wet clay depending is it too moist or less moist, just don't add too much water at once...
