    the move from the test tube when i fist got them into a bigger one was very stressfull i regret it this move to a bigger nest should go better sadly both workers died one i tried to pick up with tweezers and he died a few days after that he looked in a bad state and the other got stuck in something sticky i tried to use a q tip soaked in water to clean his legs of so the wont stick togeter he died on the qtip the queen lives on and drinks alot of sugar water hasent been out in the foraging box of the thing much i just hope the best for her no clue if those eggs i saw workers take some into the nest so i felt safe throwing it away but they might have moved them back onto the moldy cotton ball before the throw away i also regret that i have made many mistakes but as long as i can provide them with the best life the could live in my care in a non terrarium setup i dont have the room ill have to move the nest location across my room when i get my hedge hog it will live in my closet where it will be darker they are living there currently

    Nice video by the way! I’m having issues moving my messor barbarus colony into there new nest. There is a queen and 20 workers. The company I bought it off recommended me a nest that was way to big but being the beginner, I went ahead and bought it and the outworld. The queen is in the nest but the workers are still in the tube. It’s been 4 days now which isn’t that long but I have the test tube elevated angled towards the nest with a light on it at all times. The queen is alone which worries me.

  • @AntsBritania

    Thank you pal! In all honesty I would keep a colony of this size in the test tube. Try and get the Queen to go back in and then pop the test tube in a container. Stick the test tube down with some blu-tak so it doesn’t roll around or put a small amount of soil/sand in the basin. You can feed and nurture your small colony this way until they are ready for the nest :-) If you haven’t already, I recommend feeding them grass seeds. They love them! :-D
