Ants don't wanna usee outworld?
Any advice on why my anys seemingly Ave no interest in forging? I can't get them too leave the tube setup for food. And they don't even bring thereally garbage out. Just halfway down the tube.. any reason why this is?
Re: Ants don't wanna usee outworld?
What species? And how many workers does she have?

She is a camponotus penn. Queen with so far 5 nantics and is going. On her 3Rd (clutch?) Of eggs. she is making eggs faster then a chicken farm. I've fed her two frozen spiders and a live mesquito that wandered into her tube, plus some honey since her workers eclosed. But have since stopped putting food directly into her tub (as I was adviced) But she seems to be getting rather sluggish as of late. Im worried they don't know how to leave really tube and are slowly starving themselves.. It's not time for hybernation is it? I hoped to wait till mid october?

Also I feel it might be good to mention they are not squimish at all about accepting food. She was shy of the first spider first when I put it in there but after her second (clutch?) Hatched there was no problems of eating spiders, or jumping the mesquito when it got to close

Did you put a straw through the cotton of the test tube? Or just open it right up? My camponotus are at about the same stage, they come out to forage and then block the straw with balled up cotton I put in.

Camponotus seem to be a little slower just continue feeding them in the test tube, mainly feed them dry stuff like frozen insects you will have less chance of mold.
when they need Honey/sugar water just give them a little drop and after a few hours take it back out
Let us know how it goes

Is feeding them strait into the tube not too stressful then?
