Help!!!

So I will not be home for a few days. I do not have anyone feeding or taking care of my ants. My question is it ok just to leave them water, fish food and a surplus off honey for the few days. Is this ok or will the have problems such as overeating. In addition can you use just tap water for the ants or do you need something like distilled water.

They should be ok.

You can leave a surplus of food and a test tube full of water, that would work. The ants wouldn't "overeat" to the point of death, although I do think they will eat a lot in order to have reserves. I've done it with mine. Just make sure they have enough water, that is the most important thing. I have used tap water for most of my ants and I haven't had any known problems yet. Hope this helps.
