The AntsCanada Ant Forum's

I have a tetramorium Queen that has laid eggs three months ago and they are only starting to pupate now. The Queens test tube is getting a bit moldy but not enough that I'm going to move them. I don't really want to feed her when her first workers arrive through the test tube because it's moldy and I don't want to add to it. Is there anything I could hook up to the test tube that I could feed them through. I also gave the queen way to much room in the test tube do you guys say u should move the colony once the natitics arrive into a new test tube? Any help would be appreciated and please read all the questions I asked.

It is possible to take so long. When her nanitics arrive put some drinkingstraw through the cotton on the testube and put it in an outworld do the same for a clean tube and put it next to the old one. Make a paper cover for the new one and cover it whilst exposing the old one to a bright light be sure not to heat the tube though.

Giving the ants access to a foraging space means that they will be capable of cleaning up after themselves.
