My ants are very hard to feed... Especially my campontous Subbarbatus colony. They literally won't accept anything i give them. They don't like crickets which is all i have

Try Drosophila flies.

Get mealworms from the store. They're cheap and will last you a while. My Camponotus colony eats mealworms.
