The AntsCanada Ant Forum's

So my ants recently moved into their new camponotus hybrid formicarium and brown liquid puddles have began to form. I'm unsure what to do, will the ants clean themselves or will I need to take the glass off and clean it myself. Keep in mind it is a pretty big colony

I think I might have just made a mistake, I fed my ants a beetle (100% not a stink bug) but it stinks. Like, bad. The smell is contained to the container but I'm not sure what to do

I have recently seen this brownish liquid with the consistency of honey inside of my nest. It's also caused my nest to be a bit humid which the ants have embraced. What is this liquid? If I have to do something how should I go about cleaning it?

My ants seem to have hairlike follicles growing on them, I'm not sure if it's new, whether it has been there, or if there is a source but if anyone knows what it could be let me know.

(For all I know it could just be hair and I just haven't noticed)

First of all, aren't your ants hibernating? In which case you won't have to worry about food right now. Second, have you tried egg white? (Boiled) Third, how large is your colony?

Do Camponutus Florida hunt or do they prefer/only eat dead insects?

My ants are now getting a little big for my test tube, what nest should I get? Also, does it HAVE to be the Camponotus type?


Bonus:

I think I have only one more beginners question, how often do I give my ants food/honey and how do I change/give them water while they live in the test tube setup?
