Hi there.
I am new to ant keeping. I will be purchasing a Crematogaster colony from a GAN farmer. The colony is 1 queen and 7 workers. The colony is only 2 years old. Can I move them into the formicarium now or should they stay in the test tube? In general how established (old) and large should a colony be before moving them from a test tube into a formicarium?

Thanks
DuckyNoob
You should create your own topic for this.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am new to the forum and forums in general and couldn't find the new post option so thought I would start here. I will keep looking.
