I have a colony of pavement ants the colony is quite young and can I ask for advice on how often to feed them

How many workers?

I have kept ants in test tubes in them before. But opening it up just to check on one queen still disturbs all the others. My most resent test tube storage is a wood log with a bunch of drilled holes that i sit the tubes in.

Spring tails

Yeah don't use them unless its for food in out world of larger colonies.

Yes, Solenopsis molesta

Like what?

Be very carful peeking that much, I would hate it if your queens ate there eggs after they have come this far

Congrats!

I believe i heard this on an AC video. It mentioned doing that for a day to repopulate the wild species.

How often you looking at her, more than once a week will cause them to stress.
