Re: semi claustral queen ant Care
Whenever you see her wandering around outside the nest would likely be a good time to feed her. She probably had brood she was already caring for, so she might be a little slow to start over again.

Re: semi claustral queen ant Care
Ants are not a great food source. You'd be better off finding some native insect species to raise as food. If you left the food for Drosophila flies somewhere with shade, you could probably attract a winged variety, or whatever your local equivalent is.
