When will you move them to formicariums? Also, what's the material you place the nectar on top of?

What are you using instead of cotton for the water source I may use it because it looks leak proof.

what nest is this?


Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
