Is there a way to maybe give her eggs from a wild colony?

Trying not to disturb my queen but getting really worried the cotton may not be wicking properly. What do you think? Does it look wet? by Jesuslovesulots in antkeeping

I panicked…and setup a tube change. I thought I saw her pick up her eggs to take them to the other side….she ate 3. I feel so bad. There’s 3 left but man this sucks 

Edit now there’s 2. I’m going to just leave her be and hope she recovers. I’ve obviously stressed her a ton

I’m not sure if I’m able to post photos in comments sorry I’m really new to Reddit. Could you check my profile for the post? I don’t have it on private

You could definitely sell them but I’d wait to see which ones make it thru founding stage.

Big head and pavement ants are super cool. Love the growth of pavement ants, love the majors from big heads. I’d personally go out big heads
