Ahh
And I loved this nest to bits;
I woke up this morning, all was well with the world, I went to check on my ants and BAM suddenly there was a rather thick crack in a part of the formicarium my ants weren't even occupying.

[these are the best pictures I could get; it's on the bottom, I couldn't get a good angle on it]
Now there were already a couple small ones in the outworld when I got it but that wasn't a huge deal, at the time.
This though, this is mildly concerning. I don't know what could have caused it, since the hydration medium is on the other side. So I can't even blame water.
I'm a bit worried tbh.

maybe try covering them with silicone (aquarium safe) or hot glue.katdaily710 wrote:Ahh

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Hi katdaily710,
This is definitely something to be concerned about. Not sure why it would be cracking like that. Let me talk to Mikey about it and one of us will get back to you.

Re: !! Crack Appeared in Formicarium !!
Hi Katdaily,
I am sorry this has happened. To be honest, I am not sure what could be causing this? The only thing I could think of is that non-visible cracks could have occurred during the transport and finally became visible with temperature change as the plastic expands and contracts. Could it be rapid changes in temperature?
Whatever the case, please email me antscanadaantsstore@gmail.com and we can send you a replacement.
