I recently found an ant colony I don’t know what kind exactly but I removed them from the ground and put them in an ant farm I got i want to know what’s the best way to keep them alive I caught three queens from this colony and about 50 workers one queen die and more than half of the workers died what do I do I’m wondering should I let them go but I want to keep them and see if I can care for them and grow their numbers back up but I’m at the point I think I should’ve left them alone but since I got them I wanna do what I can to rebuild them any tips or steps I need to do/take will be really helpful

Keep them in a dark calm place, a proper setup for their size. Feed them regularly once a week with carbohydrates like honey or fruits and proteins as imsects
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
