you pushed it too far or it isn't plugging it hard enough(you need more cotton).


I accidentally froze all my ants

You need to push the cotton ball down quickly to prevent that air bubble from forming. As far as being too wet; the cotton is too loose for the test tube.

OK. If u have a spare test tube and some cotton. U can already practice.

U see, everything you want to learn goes with trial and error (and patience). Learn, try, fail, try again. Practice a lot if you fail more than once. Same as everyone else. And you will see that suddenly you can even help others.
