      Hi! If you don't have a test tube you can use a container with a similar shape and size, it should do the job. However, I would suggest you buy a set of cheap test tubes, they are usually a lot better than any other type of container 😉

  • @lessefrost
    @lessefrost 15 днів тому

    Another thing about online is you can be sure youre getting the species you want ahead of time! Some ant species and even genae that are local/Native take a little bit more effort to find and catch, or are just rarer to find out in the wild because they're more reclusive. Just do some due dilligence with research and make sure the species you want is not invasive to your area. Generally while it's considered ok to catch and raise invasive species already in your area, there is a bit of a taboo about spreading them outside of their areas via purchasing and possible escape. In the US, you will be limited to buy from within your state, and outside you'll be limited by local regulations about where you can purchase. That being said, the hobby is very social (like our little friends!) and many shops if they cant sell to you, they usually have links thay can help find a local antkeeper to buy from!

      Hi! Good question! You need to make the colony move to a new test tube (using a tubs and tubes setup or some similar type of setup), and then remove the old one. If the old test tube already has no water in it, they will probably move really fast to the new test tube 😉

      Hi! Lucky you! 😜 Probably it isn't rare, it's a very common species to find in Europe and all over the world. To hibernate them, you can place the test tube in which they live (or some other sort of nest) in a cold place in your house, like the garage or the balcony, and insert them inside a well isolated box.
