How to ease my ant into colder temperatures?
I don't have a lot of space to put them to ease them into the cold, but there is a storage room that I can put them in that gets cold during the winter. How can I ease them into this so they won't die from a sudden change of temperature ?

I heard they are warm enough if they live underground
Idk when hibernation occurs but it occurs when its too cold so you wont see them scavenge much in the winters
So give them as much food as possible before winter
If you see a few ants they are probably scavenging for food because its warm enough for them so make sure give them food ASAP

If your colony requires a temperatur of 5-8 °C you can go from room temperatur to 15-16°C if possible and then to 5-8°C
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
