I got a new Camponotus colony that has 9 workers. Their old test tube was running out of water and the cotton blocking the water was starting to mold a bit. So, I put a new test tube in the outworld for them to move into. To my surprise they moved in pretty quickly, but I forgot to take the old test tube out. I didn't that that was a problem until I took a peek into the outworld a few hours later. They had moved back into the old test tube. I don't want to waste your time by making you read everything I did but with in a couple of days, they mover from test tube to test tube and every once in a while, they would somehow end up in the far end of the outworld. The new test tube is clean, doesn't have mold, and has enough water. I don't know what to do and they're driving me nuts.

 

Note: I looked again and now they are just chillin sideways on the wall of the outworld.

Been keeping ants since January of 2021

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.
