Hi guys!
This journal is about my biggest colony of Formica Cinerea with around 20 workers and 1 queen, who seems to have stopped laying for he season now
I got them this year with a nest i was given and they are great! They didnt seem to like the nest so i put them in a test tube and then placed that inside of an outworld which they seem to like.
A heat-mat has been placed under this
Fed them a mealworm today and a drop of honey which went down well!

Do you crush/cut the mealworm before giving it to them? Do you give it to them live?

It depends, if its a big one il crush it, if its a small one most of the time i crush its head but sometimes i just plop it inooper01 wrote:Do you crush/cut the mealworm before giving it to them? Do you give it to them live?

Gotcha. What else do you feed Formica? I have a few Formica colonies and I'm trying to determine what best to feed them.
