Hybrid nest worker amount
How many workers should a colony have before being added to the hybrid nest 2.0 or any hybrid nest because I am interested in it for my Tetramorium colony and I want to know how’s my workers they should be at before I buy it. All advise would be helpful thanks!
Been ant keeping for 1 full year now and have 1 successful Tetramorium sp. E colony, 2 Lasius flavus queens, and 1 Lasius neoniger queen! Even though I’m fairly new, I’m passionate about the hobby and appreciate much advise!

For Tetramorium, I would suggest at least 50 workers before offering them a formicarium. They should be fine in a simple test tube setup or a test tube plus Test Tube Portal setup until then.OttoIsTheOrange wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 5:19 pmHow many workers should a colony have before being added to the hybrid nest 2.0 or any hybrid nest because I am interested in it for my Tetramorium colony and I want to know how’s my workers they should be at before I buy it.

Thanks! They are currently in the test tube setup with a portal slowly growing their colony. They should reach this point before hibernation time so I will purchase the hybrid nest this summer!
