CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What to pay attention to when raising ants

What should you pay attention to when raising ants?

1. When ants are in danger, they will bite with their two large teeth to attack or defend themselves. When biting, they will secrete formic acid (formic acid), which will stimulate the wound to become red, swollen and painful. Therefore, during the breeding period, do not come into direct contact with ants.

2. It only takes 15-20 days for ants to grow from eggs to adults, so after a period of breeding, the number of ants increases and the original ant nest can no longer bear the load, which will cause the nest to explode. After the nest explodes, you need to use a larger ant nest.

3. Never mix two ant colonies together, they will fight to the death, which is too cruel for the ants. So if your ants are captured instead of ordered, make sure they are all ants from the same nest.

4. Don't cover your ant farm - the ants will suffocate. If you must cover it, use a rubber band to tie a paper towel and poke a few holes in it with a pin. Or use a fine wire mesh.

Usually, store them in a warm room, away from direct sunlight.
