Mines very smol

New keeper is love, new keeper is life, new keeper was not the imposter.

My pavement ants aren't foraging for food and only move if I hit their nest with a stick, they live under a decomposing grasshopper. I gave them fruit but they didn't even try to eat it they just left it alone and didn't step out of their nest. I'm worried about them.

I set em free, j have a pavement ants now

It looks like a wasp it flows golden in the sunlight its not very active it likes the dark. It has a yellow ring around it's neck.

I have an ant queen that look sort of like a wasp it's golden in the sunlight and is very quick when it comes to doing things (laying eggs)

Here is a pic not very detailed though

Once the ants run out of enough gel the colony rations. You need to feed them or they will die

Now is a great time to look for queens they're the ones with wings, just make sure it's not a king. Im going to set my ants up in an aquarium once they are older. Make sure to keep them in a jar or test tube until they are a thriving colony. Make sure the aquarium has no water and lots of soil.

Hello fellow ant keepers I just got my first ant queen and want to know how long to keep her in the dark and undesturbed I also want to know how long until I should feed her for the first time thanks
