I noticed them the first time I checked on them which would've been about a week after I caught the queens. So they've had eggs for 4-5 weeks at this point.oreoisakitty wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 8:15 pmHow long have the eggs been laid?EmberMan wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 2:06 pmHello!
I am new to ant keeping and I have caught 4 queens which I believe are Camponotus pennsylvanicus. I’ve had them in test tube setups for about 5 weeks now, and 3 of them have eggs. I’ve only checked on them about once a week, but I have not really noticed a change in size of the eggs. They may be slightly more oval than when they started though. Wondering if this is normal or if the change in size at this point should be more noticeable. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you:)

So I was wondering about using the small frozen bloodworms you feed fish as a protein source for my ants?
If you don't know they're like mosquito larvae.

Thanks for the helpHawkeye wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 9:16 amNo they're not. The ants might actually hunt them, or try to chase them away if they find them a nuisance, but they're actually a benefical addition. As long as your ants can get to any prey animals before the springtails do, you've got nothing to worry about.

You might need to rehydrate them first
