Re: Odontomachus brunneus question

The thing with crickets is they can sometimes attack your ants and their brood when they aren't killed immediately so I wouldn't recommend leaving them in the tube unattended for too long. It is safer to use fruit flies if you don't want to patiently wait for them to hunt.

Re: How to take care of semi claustral queen?

UPDATE: She seems to have some problem with her legs. She used to shimmy up the glass in seconds two days ago, but today she seems to be having difficulty in climbing. Also, I moved her to an outworld. I put random pieces of wood inside, but she hasn't tried anything yet. What exactly should her ho...
