Help! I don't know what to do
My new queen has been in her test tube setup for about 4 days and is still really ripping at the cotton. she's a big camponotus pennsylvannicus I had to change the cotton twice I'm afraid she might get out and if she doesn't stop soon I'm going to consider letting her go, plz help me.

Thats normal man. Just give her some time. My C. Subbarbatus queen did the same thing.

She also has a much smaller ant attached to her leg, since the day I got her I've tried get it off her but she won't keep still and I don't want to injure her any suggestions

If she's bothered by it she'll take it off herself. I wouldn't try helping her cause she could get stressed out.Proverbs66 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2017 10:42 pmShe also has a much smaller ant attached to her leg, since the day I got her I've tried get it off her but she won't keep still and I don't want to injure her any suggestions
