Leaving ants on holidays?
First post and question!
What are your opinions on leaving ants at home? I usually leave them with a friend while I'm away but what are other ways to leave them while you're on a holiday? I'm referring to about 2 months. I also live in Australia, which means hibernation isn't a thing for my ants.
What are some alternatives to leaving them with friends?

You could create an automatic ant feeder that is like a tub filled with cock roaches and another filled with honey that is pushed out daily to fit the ants portion sizes

That wouldn't work for two months... yuk.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I'm going to bump this thread! I really need your opinions, ant lovers!

You can get pots of protein jelly and just poke a hole in the lid to let ants in then leave it in their foraging area. If you have a large colony I would suggest using 2 pots (pots are small)
