Ant Queen has not produced any eggs in 5months
Ant Queen has not produced any eggs in 5months
I caught two ant queens December 2017 and I put them both in identical test tube setups.A few weeks later they started laying eggs but the one queen only laid 5. Three of the eggs hatched and a few weeks later the nanitics died but the queen is still alive and haven't laid any eggs in 5months. She had too be moved 2times since then because she drinks all the water in the test tube. Please help I don't know what to do.

How often do you check on them?

Well, it's almost winter anyway, so you probably won't be seeing any eggs until next spring.
