Queen ant care question

[Barfdog]

So I recently got a hold of two Forelius Pruinosus ants from someone local in Phoenix, I'm fairly positive they are fully claustral. They have one worker with them as well. What I'm worried about is feeding them. I'm fairly certain since they have a worker it can help give them nourishment. But I keep disturbing them when I have to change out the wax paper. Any suggestions on what to do? Or how often to feed them? I know they can go long time without food and as long as they have water but I'm worried about the one worker and I'm unsure when they have last eaten. (until the other day when I brought them home.) Another problem I see is how tiny these ants are, I'm not sure if I'll be able to see eggs before developing a little. Thanks for your thoughts/ideas/time.

A small drop of a sweet liquid every month or so at this point. If the worker is small and there is only one they should be fine without food for awhile.

Feed fruit flies or other small amounts of protein.

I was wondering what you Forelius setup was like? I read they like hot and dry areas so I’m worried My test tube setup may be too humid? J just got her today so I want to make it as perfect as possible to give her the best chance!
