Antworks

Hmmm I am ordering one of them...

Edit: I was thinking:

You could make a slice of perspex to go straight down the middle of the tank and seal it with bluetack. Then you get the mail-order ants in one half, and garden ants in the other. When their bases are well established, raise the bit of perspex then watch the insectoid viet-cong warfare unfold. :D

There are about 30 ants in there. Most of them are all huddled up together on a piece of paper they came in. I need to try and get them off (without them all escaping this time).

You can't add more ants, as they'll just has all out war and kill each other.

Mind you, that could be interesting...

they're quick little buggers and cling on like super glue!

they come in a little plastic pot which as a roll of this blue paper in it. They all cling to the paper in groups and won't let go. they're protecting the eggs.

they will have babies as there are eggs.

It will be cool porn as /david attenborough mode all ants are female. Males are only produced once a year, when they fly and mate during flight with winged females. The males die shortly after mating. /david attenborough mode

LOL!!! Cant beat a bit of insectoid viet-cong warfare!
 
I had the exact same problem, they didnt come off the paper for days.
Eventually some of them did and made some tunnels for a couple days more, then they seemed to just give up, wandering around aimlessly and eventually dieing off.

Damn paper.
 
Where does one aquire said ants and blue stuff?

When they 'fight', how vicious is it?

What are the possibilities of raising two sets, one wild then locking them up together?
