The workers are all active now! It's so fun to watch them scramble around. In a few days, I will try to post a picture of their progress, and I will attempt to raise them in 3 test tubes connected to a test tube portal, connected to an outworld, with the test tubes as the main nests. Has this been s...

Not sure. Maybe straws? Honestly, AC tubing is already pretty cheap. I sometimes use straws.

Fed them a tiny drop of honey today. As expected, they loved it. For some reason though, the workers are sleeping a ton.

Probably shouldnt give the ants too much space. Theyll store garbage in their nst and it will mold, and it will be difficult to clean up. Probably should use an ant tower instead, and maybe put in some soil creatures?

By the way, should I name them Flaming Salsa, Burning Empire, or the Blazing empire? (Sorry for bad fiery names lol)

Feed them honey or crushed mealworms? Im also currently keeping a RIFA colony in its beginning stages, with one worker.

Yeah. I personally dislike too fast growing colonies. Slower ones are more fun for me, since the beginning stages last longer.

Hi, I’m going to be following the progress of my first fire ant queen, who got her first worker today!!

Eight? Dang, I have five living together. Hopefully, they don’t fight once workers arrive. I have two spare test tubes, but I’m hoping to see if I can catch any more queens this year.
