Leaf Cutting Ant Forum

The unit has been attached for an hour and the fungus is covered in leaves!

You can sometimes do everythng right and still the ants do their own thing. There was definitely something they didnt like about the previous setup. The task is to find out what it was.

Seems the case, little buggers.

Here's the first one I did


Been 4 weeks since last side shot, had some good growth even though they went 3-4 days cutting next to nothing while I move there foraging area.

I love that double picture, really shows the progress. I cant think of a better faster growing colony than your, Jamie. You do realise that you are very quickly going to be a victim of your own success. They are going to explode and you are going to have to provide them with container after container to accommodate them. Fantastic. Atta are the real deal!

Yeh there going well, will be rocking in no time! Im thinking about stripping that room out and insulating it with celotex and heating it, would give me so much more freedom if I could have fungus gardens just sitting on a table rather than in a heated box.

Tipped over

Timberrrrr.....

You cant say that colony isnt looking great now. Seems any problems you may have had are thoroughly behind you now!!

They are going great, just the feeding table that's the problem, trying again this week.

Good luck trying get 2nd garden bro but I think mine just started 2nd now as they are taking Tiny leaf bits and fungus in 2nd pod
