My ants aren't eating

[Ares9738]

I recently got a new colony of solonopsis invicta with around 150 workers and i put them in a 10 gallon aqaurium setup. They've been in there for almost 5 days and still refuse to eat. I've offered them a multitude of insects to no avail. After day 4 i just starting leaving a dish of honey in the setup hoping that they would eat when they are hungry. Should i be worried or just give them more time? Thanks in advance for your help.

They eat when they are hungry. I wouldn’t be worried.

Smaller ant colonies have times when they don't need much food.
