[oOFutteOo]

Hey

I have a Lasius niger colleny in a 3D printed Nest and outworld. It is all in White PLA and all thou it is very god for look ing at the ants it seems a bit cold. should i put a bit of sand and maybe some twigs in the outworld i would boil it first.
it is maybe 20+ workers and the amount of eggs have exploded during the last 2 weeks.

Best regards Futte the Danish ant keeper

Hi!
I also have a little lasius niger colony and i wanted to ask you why you not use the classic way of antkeeping...
anyways, you can put a heatingcable next to the nest and i think it will be fine... i mean, if they can survive swedish winter than they can survive that... but put a heatingcable next to the nest and that will do the trick

hey Antlove

Not cold as in, brrrr i'm freezing, but cold as in sterile hospital look

it is just for aesthetics sake and then i'm wondering if the ants would benefit from some sand and twigs.
