Thanks for the info!

So the new nests are going to be 8 x 8 and the old ones discontinued. Just curious. If you raise a colony to say 25-50 workers as recommended, will the new 8 x 8 nest be ok for this size or will you have to wait longer until they are even bigger say 75-100 workers to prevent them from having too mu...

Ok I know Hibernation has been thrown around a lot lately, maybe cause we're in the mid year and noobs like me :D are starting to collect and I haven't seen anything on Hibernation for Founding Colonies with newly caught queens laying their first eggs. Location: Gilbert Az Current Temps where ants a...

I had this happen recently with a new small colony of mine. They only stayed in the tub. About 15 workers. I connect it to a test tube portal but never saw them come out. I left a cricket in there and eventually they came out. Like someone said earlier, they'll come out when they need to. Just gotta...

I recently made my first outworlds using grout and items from a craft store. It was real fun to make and easy to do. I used grout from home depot which came in a box ($10). I cut open the top of the bag within the box enough to get a scooper in. The scoop I used looks like a standard scoop, kinda li...

Awesome thanks for the info!!

Just curious if you can freeze leftovers. Say I have a worm and cut it in half to feed a founding colony in a tube setup, can i freeze the other half? Will it still be good for the next feeding?
