[QUOTE="Jlynsg16, post: 175835, member: 32761"] Im not sure if anyone else has had this problem before. I got my Avicularia Avicularia about two months ago. I went away from home for about three weeks and I took Her with me. When I came back my brothers disclosed to me that we had an ant problem. I didn’t think much of it, I just cleaned my room and settled Radish (my Ts name) into her usual spot. The next day after coming back I fed her crickets and when I awoke in the morning to check on her and see if she ate all her food, I found her enclosure FULL of ants. Like crazy amount all covers the crickets that were obviously meant for her. i quickly removed her form her enclosure, I threw out all the substrate and I cleaned her items in there and settled her back in. i have been keeping a close eye on her since especially when feeding. I’ve swept the room for ants and everything but they find ways in. I hadn’t notice any in her enclosure since I threw everything out. Today it’s feeding day. I fed her and again I went to check on how she was doing and I noticed TINY ants roaming around her enclosure !!!! Idk if they bread In there??? There’s not that many but I spotted quite a few tiny ants. I don’t know what to do?? Has anyone faced this problem or know what I can do make sure they don’t get back in there? I’m scared they’ll hurt Radish [/QUOTE]
