Besides heating cable?

[AntsRule]

What besides a heating cable can i use to make a colony move into the formicarium. I have some ideas, hot glue gun, little shake hand heater, and warm water in a plastic bag. (My B. Depilis are being stubborn)Thanks!

Let them move in on their own.

shine a light on them. make sure you watch them though because they can cook

I have found with my larger ants, careful use of a hairdryer on low works really well.

I have been trying for weeks but they are out of water except for a little condensation, mold is growing on garbage, and the cotton has turned yellow. R any of these super urgent? Thanks!

As long as they have close access to a clean tube, they will move when they are uncomfortable in their current environment.

It is about 2 feet of tubing and they have yet to discover it, should i let them be?

um, two feet is quite a lot for a young colony. personally, I like to make them have to only travel at the most six inches.
