Hello
I recently got a test tube of 15-20 tetramorium ants. They are in a test tube setup but I do not know what I should feed them.
Thanks
What should I feed my tetramoriums?

When my tetramorium colony was that young, I fed them crickets and honey mostly. Tetramorium aren't particularly picky so they will accept pretty much anything.
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.

Mealworms, crickets, and dubia roaches are pretty good. Mealworms are probably the easiest to get. Variation is good I guess.
