Natural Set up
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2020 2:01 am
Hi there,
I know that there are some ant keepers that give their queens a natural space for their founding stage, where they dig their own claustral chamber. I wanted to do the same for my queen, but I was wondering how she would get water.
It has been a couple of weeks now that I have had this Pavement ant queen, who I caught during her nuptial flight. I am quite sure she has mated ( because I saw it in action ) but she still has not laid any eggs. It is becoming close to winter now, so will she hibernate, and so should I just let her lay eggs in spring?
Thanks
