I have a Queen ant with 15 workers and alot of brood I still don't have a formicarium I'm just wondering How and when to move them I'm scared to move them because of the AntsCanada Videos that if its to early the ants might die off. My Ant colony is a S. geminata. :?: :?: :?:

I feed my Ant colony 2-3 Fruit flies , Spider leg And a Dead cockroach leg.

:D

They don't have to move right now, the colony is to small. At about 100 workers you can move them to a real formicarium.

Should I make a Out world for them or just feed them in the testtube? :?:

You should make an outworld, if you feed them inside the testtube it will get dirty.
