Hi I just realised that non of my ant queens’ eggs have hatched and it has been basically a month I don’t know if this is to do with the temperature or me checking on them to much. I only check on them every 3-4 days
Also I don’t think any of them are hibernating
So what do u suggest I do?

Re: Queens eggs haven’t hatched
hatching times vary with species. Large ants like bull ants take several months, while camponotus queens have a very slow colony growth. only check like every week or so.OGGKING1 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 12:10 amHi I just realised that non of my ant queens’ eggs have hatched and it has been basically a month I don’t know if this is to do with the temperature or me checking on them to much.

Re: Queens eggs haven’t hatched
Maybe the queen is just eating the eggs and laying new ones. Check every once a week and keep her in a warm and disturbance free place
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
