Re: Camponotus help + update Messors + dreams

:( I checked on the new queen today, when she was busy pulling the cotton out. There was a piece of her front leg stuck in between plastic and cotton ball and It's so sad. It seems she got bothered and broke her own leg in panic. What should I do now? Maybe I should seek for a bigger room for her. H...

I'm so nervous about my queens!!!help

Queen N1 is in syringe as you can see, so maybe she is digging cause it's too crumped in here? For queen N2 it works the opposite way, cause the cham...
