Pet help needed,,,

montanajoe

Got an ant farm. Couple of the ants are bow legged. This causes a real danger. As they dig tunnels, their bow legs make the tunnel to wide and collapses on the other ants behind them,trapping and killing them. I had to unearth several ants to bury them. Is there a corrective surgery for the bow legged ants??

If you do not have a queen, they will all soon be dead in any event. You might try splints until then.

Ex wife had a bow legged aunt, never found a cure for her either.

Gee Joe, that's quite a quandary all right. Teach 'em to shore up the tunnels???

you have WAY too much time on your hands

turn the farm on its side, the tunnels will then be taller than wider..............

Joe, you could always apply for government subsidies. As an ant farmer, you should qualify for all kinds of help.

On a serious note...?I'm kinda afraid that you just might get rich on this persuit!

I just have to quote an old song sung by one of my favorite late actors. Robert Shaw. You may remember him singing it on that movie "Jaws".

You don't need "pet help", you need therapy.

just a idea when I was about 10 years old, I discovered a bright sunny day and a magnifying glass did wonders for the ants
now I feel bad after all ants life matter

Fire Ants are known to have a hot temper. You need a few to help out the colony. Those piss ants will be back to work in no time.

Its really a no brainer Just cut legs off one side

mix a little concrete powder in the farm dirt......tunnels will never collapse

hillbille

that tunnell collapse could have just been a diversion, did you check to see if any were escaping out the other side??????? though with todays political climate you won't be able to put them back, you will just have to let them wander the house for a year or so till the court date comes up and hope they show up then....
