No it's went back into one big graden but you get my video on FB messager about the workers acting weird ?? Well I've took it out of the small tub and into this one as the workers was going weird

Just to keep the posts understand able Ricco sent me a clip of the workers acting weird and I said it looked very much like insecticide/ pesticide poisoning. I've experienced this myself in the past.
You should post the video up here for everyone to see Ricco.
Makes everyone aware what it does to them.

Dont really know what to suggest with your thermostat, Ricc. Not really my field of expertise. Hopefully you will sort something out.

[Deansie26]

If its the thermometer I wouldn't worry at the moment, just don't adjust the thermostat as you will be in the dark as to what the temo is.
If the ants are happy just let them get on.

Well guys it was the thermo I got new one and the temp stays 24.5-25c max when it gets to 25 now green light goes out and now the workers are going crazy on the leaves and the fungus doubled in size tonight with loads rose leaves cutting so must be very happy again in the nest. And humdity is 90% they love rose leaves more then privet lol

[Atta solider]

Well been snowing bad hear so I can't get more rose leaves lol but I hope no more snow but fungus is dark green were the privet leaves been cut I can't wait till spring comes

[Acromyrmexbob]

If its snowing in your leaf cutting ant enclosure I dont think you've fixed your thermostat problem yet!

[Atta solider]

[Acromyrmexbob]

Brussel sprouts, grapes, blueberries, sultanas, flaked almonds. You can feed non leaf stuff and see if they take it. Should be fine I think.
