So recently I caught a pheraoh ant or pharaoh ant whatever you spell it queen ( from my bathroom ) and she had a fat gaster. She was trying to get out so I waited it out and fed her sugar water.
I put her in a 2nd hand test tube its rectangular and has 2 holes in the back ( i put cotton btw ) which I put water in it when it dries out
Also fed her sugar water which she gladly accepted
After a few days she finally raised ants but she is raising them at the ENTRANCE of the test tube 'cuz I made the cotton ball ( where I keep her hydrated ) too moist and now I cant feed her sugar water
What shall I do??
This is a problem

You can get a syringe with a thun needle and use that to give them food.

camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.

Re: This is a problem
lol. Did she bring the eggs as well into the back with her?
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
