Re: Deansie's Atta cephalotes,
Ants doing ok, have added a second fungus chamber with a base of plaster. They haven't done anything to it as yet, not dumped either so that's good.
Few things I've noticed-
>the ants continue to dump into the moat
>for some strange reason if I put branches of leaves in a little container of water on top of the feeding table they won't climb it for them?? Even if I position it so a leaf is touching the vertical walk way, they will totally ignore them and only eat what is placed on the table. Very strange, I like using a container as it keeps the leafs fresh for longer, never had this issue before.
I'm going to order some glass, raise the table and make a dump chamber under the feeding table.
Least it shouldn't be hard to get them to use it lol.
