I've read the little question mark about pheromones on my Throdama's page, but I still don't really understand what it means. It says about the next generation, so does it improve their offspring?

Thanks in advance

In fact, yes it does. You can assign workers with active pheromones to a pregnant female to specialize the offspring. Beware though, the babies will never be able to breed.

Thank you!

How does the amount of "nannies" or pheromone suppliers, affect the offspring?

You have to fill the number needed to get offspring.

You can assign 1, 2, or 3 throdama (with the same ready pheremone) to a pregnant female to get a baby with a specialized morph. These morphs look different than normal throdama, can't breed, and have certain special abilities Depending on how many you assign, the baby will get more or less special abilities. 

For example, say you have one throdama with a ready Warrior pheremone, and you assign it to use that pheremone on a pregnant female/her baby. The baby will have the Warrior morph (check Skins -> Throdama to see what that looks like), as well as the trait Spikes (increases blow/rush damage and critical strike chance). If you use two Warrior pheremones, the baby will additionally get Venemous Spikes, which gives them a chance to poison an enemy in battle. And if you use three warrior pheremones, you get a Grade 3 Warrior, which will have Stench (increases dodge chance by a lot) as well as the other traits. 

So it's a tradeoff--if you have three throdama with ready Warrior pheremones, you can make three Grade 1 Warriors, or one Grade 3 warrior. (Or one Grade 2 and one Grade 1.) It's a quality/quantity choice. 

You can't assign babysitters to use different pheremones on the same baby--you can use one, two, or three Warrior pheremones, but not one Warrior pheremone and one Scout pheremone.

I have a question. I have a female throdama who has an available pheromone. I bred her but when her larva grew up, it was just a regular throdama. What went wrong?

A mother can't give pheromones to her child. You have to assign three different throdoma to the pregnant mother (each with the requirements for your desired morph pheromone), and they have to be the same type.
