Emegency
I caught three new queens. Two today in my house and one on the 16th. They have not lain any eggs including the one that I caught on the 16th. Should I feed them or not and if yes what food should I give them. Also can I put whatever the food is into their test tube?

Re: Emegency
Don't worry some queens might take a while to lay eggs. What species are they? How often have you been checking on them? Normal test tube set up?

Re: Emegency
So in conclusion, should I feed the queens or not?

Re: Emegency
I check on them about twice a day. Is it too often?

Re: Emegency
I have a bad feeling. I think the space I give them in a test tube setup is too big. How long should the space approximately be?

Re: Emegency
2 times a day is way too much. I check on mine once a week. The queens could get so stressed out that they could eat there eggs. As long as you stop checking on them so often you should be fine. As far as the size of the test tube, don"t try moving them again. As long as the test tube is not GIGANTIC you should be fine. My test tube are 1/2 inch wide and 5 inches long.
