Washing Formicarium
So this week I've been trying to move in a tetramorium queen with her nanitics. Well today the queen left the formicarium and sadly curled up in a water test tube I had setup, and died. I believe it was due to stress. I wanted to clean out my formicarium just in case for my next try because I have other queens in test tubes. So my question to you guys is, how would I go about cleaning my AntsCanada Hybrid nest? Thank you.

Re: Washing Formicarium
You can try to open the hybrid nest and then clean it by using water and paper towel. If you use soap make sure to wash it out very thoroughly since ants always lick every surface clean and depending on the soap could kill the ants if they lick up left over bits of soap. So be sure to wash it out properly.colo3000 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2017 11:02 pmSo this week I've been trying to move in a tetramorium queen with her nanitics.

Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
