Re: Ants don’t come out of ant hill
They don't really need to come out much cos there's so few of them there food and liquid needs are low all you can do is leave them be and as the colony gets bigger they LL get more adventurous

Re: Fruit fly problem
Just brush them out they can't really survive cold so you shouldn't have a long term problem but best tobact straight away put them in bag then freezer for ten mins that should kill them and you could try the dead large with the ants and they may take them

Re: Lasius niger
It should work ! At least it did on mine ! You haven't really given enough information as to why they died ? You could try honey of just sugar water and a small soft insect and put her into the dark for a week and see what happens

Re: New to ant keeping
Carpenter ants are a good starter species but slow to grow but I suppose it depends what you can find maybe someone more local might help you out !
