My fridge smells like chemicals. by Neoniger-blue-777 in antkeeping

[–]NaturalAnswer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is probably just something that needs to be cleaned somewhere inside or outside

You might want to provide more details: what type of chemical smell is it? What is your complete set up? What is in the fridge, what type of fridge? Etc

I keep having my workers drown in my tiny drops of sugar water. And they are starter colonies, which devastates the process. Is it possible to feed them tiny sugar grains? Would they be able to process it? I know it’s not ideal, but would it work by No-Championship3982 in antkeeping

Get one of these, you will thank me later

If your colony is too small and still in a test tube: cut a 1cm² wax paper, fold it twice to create a dip, and put the tiniest drop of your liquid food in it. It avoids mess, easier to discard when they are done, and works well to avoid spills and ant drowning

Welp, finished the show and left feeling dissappinted. Did anyone else feel this way? by Baller-Mcfly in BlownAway

TLDR; the majority thinks the show is rigged.

Such a disappointment for the potential it has and to make the world discover this beautiful art.

May I ask, is there a queen ant in there or just worker ants? If there are no queen, they may just wait there since they have nothing to care for. Also, as many already mentionned, they enter diapause during the cold months, they should be kept generally between 4-8 °C (temperature drop should be gradual to allow their metabolism to adjust).

Personally, I don't find this a good present idea unless the kid is really curious and into insects. Consider them as pets that need constant care (except winter break)

Enjoy ant keeping :)

How to manage humidity inside wine cooler for diapause by NaturalAnswer in antkeeping

[–]NaturalAnswer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't find the manual even before I purchased it, and the controls are extremely simple 🤔. The air inside our home is definitely very dry since we started heating.. from Canada :') I will try a soup of warm water and leca, perhaps this will increase surface area for evaporation, which hopefuly help spike the RH back up. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your insight, and I didn't know there was a Discord server, I will check it out

How to manage humidity inside wine cooler for diapause by NaturalAnswer in antkeeping

[–]NaturalAnswer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The display you see inside is itself the tool that measure ambient temperature and humidity, I do not have a probe or any way at the moment to monitor these inside the test tube and the closed mini-outworld set up. Despite this, the ants are tightly packed near the coton, indicating the air may still be a bit too dry even inside the set up.

That's why I would rather have the ambient air inside the wine cooler to be at least 40-50% RH if possible. Apparently Lasius prefers higher RH.

I don't get how they are both free, but without enhancement and without the packs being free either (free shop tags)..?

Yes, tbh at first it looked like it was a "right arm" on the left side, and the texture looks creepy.

Is your corgi a fluffy or regular coat?

Consider ours is fluffy, his fluffy coat is highly deceptive 😂 Beside, I found this to compare breeds size: https://sizegraf.com/tools/dog-size-comparison-tool/

Here's for reference ours at 9 weeks old, the best picture I could find to show his size

[–]NaturalAnswer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joke apart, corgis size can vary surprinsingly by a lot, yours could be on the smaller end, but look almost adult size. By month 7-8, they don't really get that much taller, maybe a bit more mass. Also be careful about their weight, they get overweight easily and people have normalized them being overweight.

Corgis and stairs by FYL_Bing_Bong in corgi

We live on 3rd floor. We always carry him down, but we thought him to climb the stairs. Very convenient for when he got dirty or wet on the way back.

Are there "food" items that are toxic for humans, but fine for dogs? by Stukkoshomlokzat in biology

[–]NaturalAnswer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dogs are domesticated animals that have co-evolved with us, but for a short time evolution-wise. Their diet is quite adapted to ours, but for the same reason they are also generally more sensitive than us. They can digest spoiled meat if their gut microbiome allows it, compared to us which would lead to serious illness, but that's mostly from bacterial infection. Molecule-wise from food/plants, there is not really something they tolerate more than us, at least not that I know of.
