I'm ordering a THA Fortress for my newly caught and laying N. Cockerelli Queens! I'm housing three of them together in hopes that they can create an established colony together or at least get some of that sweet pleometrosis going. They've laid a lot of eggs and the larvae are starting to come out. I currently have them housed in some Amazon plastic test tubes. How do you suggest I move them in? Dump them into the outworld, or tube them in? Should I add some sort of water? How will nest mates play into this? Also, how do you suggest I house these, humidity and food wise? Thanks!
