Help! Queen possibly not taking care of eggs!
My fire ant queen is WAYYY more active than I have ever seen before. This is my first colony. I also think that they (workers and queen) are not taking care of the eggs because the eggs are brown and scattered everywhere, the cotton and the test tube. Please tell me what is going on. I am a 13 and still learning all this.

So i recomend a new test tube, and make sure you feed them carbohydrates so they have energy. Were these workers hers, or were they introduced?
When you accidentally reply to yourself…

The workers are hers and I have given them a new test tube but they haven't moved in yet after a few months. This is my first time on the forum so I am still figuring it out.
