Sorry for the late reply I was on the beach, hahah I laughed about you saying they like to drown, it's interesting how everyone keep their ants, looks like everyone have their own designs, there is no wrong or right.Andyj wrote:I started using a shallow bowl with a pebble in because my ants used to drink from the water bottle used to stand cut twigs in.The pebble was for for them to climb onto should they fall. For a creature coming from the rain forest they are incredibly adept to drowning. To be honest i have never tried using a test tube with cotton wool for LCA's but i use bits of it to plug up holes which they always pull to pieces and take to the dump. Like my wife, these girls seem to have to tidy everything up..
lol. Whatever works for you and your ants is the best way.. Now i'm off to turn the fire up,,it's freaking freezing here...
