Ants update

Some of them have laid eggs. A few only have one or two, but two of them had four. One of the ones with four must’ve felt disturbed because they proceeded to eat their eggs. I want to punish them but it’s probably my fault, and I don’t want to hurt them. I wonder what I’ll do with the spare broods though.

seems a bit out of context here. what species are you talking about? are they in the dark and undisturbed? Are you checking more than once a week on them?
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Lol. I would smack my sibling for checking on them so much and trying to spray them with Raid. xD
