How to use AC testube portal.

[Antlover41157]

My new Camponotus colony just gained two nianitics,(last time I checked a week ago they we'rent there) I do have an AC testube portal, should I attack the Portal and feed them? Also once attached is the testube exposed or is both of them still kept in the dark? Final question, can I check on them more then once weekly now that the workers are here?

They probably won't eat for a few more days, because the new workers exoskeletons will still be hardening. Once you attach the test tube portal keep the nest dark for sure, I don't know if keeping the out world dark is necessary (I don't keep it dark). Also yes you can check on them more often now.
I hope you find this helpful!

Oh thx I realized I didn't put an adapter and checked on them again and a new worker came out of the cocoon! yeah I thinl they wont eat for a while since they're probably fresh out of the cocoon.

Ya, I would defiantly use an adapter, because the test tube can easily fall off other wise, and you probably don't want a loose Camponotus colony in your house! It is so exiting (especially with Camponotus) when more workers start coming out of their cocoons!
