Step-by-Step Instructions for Setting Up a Test Tube Chamber for Ants

Fill the Test Tube with Water:

Fill the test tube to the lower line with water to create a suitable environment for the ants

Prepare the Cotton Ball:

Insert the cotton ball down enough to remove air from the water side to prevent water from passing the cotton ball

Dab Up Remaining Water Drops:

Dab up any remaining water drops in the new founding chamber to ensure a dry environment. A rolled up paper towel works great.

Install the Chamber Divider:

Install the chamber divider with the pull tab facing outward and use the feeding trough to push it into the final position.

Add the Queen Ant:

Add the captured queen ant to the chamber and carefully plug the end with the venting plug

Adjust the Chamber Divider as Needed:

You can change the placement of the chamber divider as needed for the specific requirements of the ants' habitat.

These steps will help create a suitable environment for the ants in the test tube chamber. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!

Fill to the required line. The test tube holder is made to stand up when filling. You can choose to use as a queen starter or a liquid feeder.
