Re: pheidole pallidula not eating
How often do you feed them. Feeding once a week is plenty for that small of a colony. The workers might be full of food so they wont accept anything right now.
Also remember ants wont easily let themselves starve to death so if they aren't eating now, they dont need food

Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
