so I tried these ants (I was new) few years ago, queen died, not that long in.. I do think mistakes happened, mistakes being, put them right into a way to big of a nest, when I should of left them into the test tube at the founding stage.
not sure if any other mistakes happened but that was the major one I can think of... now I am thinking of trying again with these ants to try do a better job so obviously .. I have to rebuy things.. was looking at the Venus nest from Wakooshi... it's basically a small founding setup that holds the test tube etc. keeps it dark, also has a spot underneath to put a heating cable.
looking for advice.... tips just anything in general.
many thanks!
