My Weird Pheidole Queen
Hi and Hello to anybody reading this topic
So...i have a problem,i already keeping two pheidole megacephala queen and it's been one or two month's,but the eggs haven't hatch yet...i don't know if the egg already become larvae since they're so small..
and when i tried to move one of them because the tube is moldy...she won't move...and i didn't see the egg's i don't know if she actually hide it or eating it...since i already inspecting my new test tube...and there is nothing in there...
but so far,both of them haven't have one nanitic at all...and....egg's seems to decreasing....even though i'm not sure (i still can see the egg of one of the ant and i don't know if it's just my feeling or not if they're decreasing)also she always seems to get closed and cared for the egg....so....yeah i'm confused
so is it normal for the egg to not hatch in two or one month....any help will be appreciated..

Re: My Weird Pheidole Queen
It could be that both of your queen are infertile or maybe the temperature is too cold. Try giving her some honey.
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Re: My Weird Pheidole Queen
Do you check on her every days or very often? Maybe only check on her once every week

Re: My Weird Pheidole Queen
So she could be infertile but she is in denial
Maybe there could be other reason. I dont know everything about ants so maybe someone else in this forum could give other reason
