Colony becoming too big??
Hi, I' completely new and want to start a formica colony, but I'm unsure of how to proceed when my colony needs more space to expand - do I just have to make more nests for it overtime and then just let it expand naturally without interfering? Also, how do I create a watering system?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You can always add more nest space, or increase the size/amount of your arena(s)

As for the water, a test tube filled with water and plugged with a ball of cotton should do.
Of course if you're nuts like me, you could provide your ants with a river of fresh water surrounding their nest.

Re: Colony becoming too big??
Do you recommend plaster? Or a different inexpensive material?
Re: Colony becoming too big??
Not sure what you mean? What would you like to use the plaster for? Besides fixing walls in your house?

Re: Colony becoming too big??
Most people use either plaster or Ytong to construct their formicariums, right? I’m just asking which material is better in general..
Re: Colony becoming too big??
I have no experience with either, so I can't tell you
