should i move my ants to a formicarium?
Hi,
I have had a Lasius niger colony for a month and a bit now but progress seems to be very slow with only one worker hatching in that time period.
The colony is currently 8 workers strong and not much happens in side the test tube. Should i move them to a formicarium or are there any other things i should try?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you .
