4 - I think they have to many

I think they have to many place in the box there was sending to me. The box wil shake underway and the ants will fall down of his own. They attack himself because normal effect when you shake ants in e box you can see it. And Cataglyphis are very agressive ants and when one attack with acid, all want do the same!

I hope you understand what i mean!

6 - I think, send a queen is easy

I think, send a queen is easy and small colonys with not more than 20 workers is easy too. But bigger you get the problem i have wrote!
You must make a box or a tuber where the ants can not shake in the box, i mean that they have a good stand in the tube and maybe some chembers in the box. The best is queen and not more than 15-20 workers. Cataglyphis queen alone is not good, you have some trouble with it to grow up a colony!
The best by Cataglyphis queens is that you dig some small pupas from the same species and put it to the queen. That is the best method, other is to many risk for this rar Cataglyphis queens!!!
