That is exactly what I had in mind! It would make life so much easier.

I had a suggestion on how to improve the bases. If they had little tiny feet to lift them off the ground a bit, it would be a lot easier to put them back in outworlds that are full of tiny ants. I always worry about smooshing ants in some of my larger colonies that have workers everywhere. Just a thought...

I have seen this implemented in some foreign products.

The problem could also be solved by providing the ants more space so they are not overcrowded. With the exception of army ants, it is rare for ants to forage at such high densities commonly observed in captivity.

In any case, I am happy to report that I have been developing a different style of feeder which would resolve this problem. I hope to make the new products available soon.

Any updates on the new product?
