Camponotus cruentatus journal

[abzantz]

I have had these lovely ladys for some time now and they are in hibernation at the moment. So there won't be much activity on this thread at the moment. I put them in to hibernation, 1st October when should I wake them up?

She has now been sent to an expert ant keeper. he knows what he is doing.lol I will get her back in a couple of months. He has updated me, she is now eating ant jelly like mad. next update next Sunday!

OHH, cool. Do you know why she lost all her workers?

[abzantz]

Its because she stopped laying eggs and her workers got old and died.
