Re: odontomachus help
There's a large possibility she is eating and you don't see her doing so. Just provide a sugar source constantly and small insects or insect parts to her once a day. Mine really liked termites.

Re: odontomachus help
Yes tat may be true but now theres a new problem the queen dragged a woodlice into the test tube and left it there and now its growing moldy so should i try and transfer her to a new test tube by attaching another test tube to the old one or just leave her be?

Re: odontomachus help
Leave her be would be my advice and just provide a new tuve that's covered close to her current tube. She will move if she feels the need.
