Hi I want to transfer my ants with tubing. But I have to drill a whole and I do not want my ants to get out while drilling the whole. I also do not want my formicariam to brake when drilling the whole. And if I do this how do I put my tubing in the hole without ants escaping?
Please help.

Could you post a picture of the nest and where you want to drill the whole?
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

HI here is the link for the picture. I just want to drill a whole in the front so I can attach an outworld. But as you can see there are ant everywhere.

It doesn’t work, but what you could do is get another “nest” and drill a hole in it, then put the new nest connected to the outworld. Then, you could dump them in the outworld or if it’s big enough, just set the container in the outworld(How do you feed, is it like a tubs + tubes setup?)queenantkeeper wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 4:19 pmHI here is the link for the picture.
