Hi Again

Ok the antfarm has arrived so I'll be setting it up tomorrow I just wanted to sense check a couple of things, I was given a small bag of red sand I am assuming this goes in the bottom of the habbitat part and you push a length of pipe in to it and use it to keep adding the water to the bottom of the habbitat to keep it moist.

I am going to use a soil/sand mix in the foraging bit I should keep this dry so they won't dig it.

Lastly I am getting a queen from Miszt should I put box/container in the foraging bit or the habbitat part??

I'll keep you updated as I go

Thanks

You mean the box/container with your queen? Doesn´t really matter where you put it. Ants will find the way.
If you will receive just the queen keep her in a test tube untill colony is 10 -15 workers strong.

Good luck and do keep us updated.

You mean "seramis" not "ceramics" do you?

Clay Agregate Balls, from your local garden centre wildbird make sure they dont have any chemicals eg pesticides in

It is not a must to use it at the bottom of your farm but it is always better if you do, so if you can find it, use it.

It's a trademark, it's called the same in UK ... that's why I posted the link to their web presence in UK. Or is "ceramics" written phonetic *smile*

About these little seramis/ceramics or whatever you want to use ... be careful, sometimes ants like to dig there or carry it away ^^

[miszt]

Ceramic's are not a trademark, often used for making Pottery, Cups etc, I suspect that Seramis make products from Ceramic's

D'Oh Sometimes I should use a dictionary instead of guessing ... ^^
