Should I feed these queens?
Hello, I caught these argentine queen ants leave an argentine ant nest and i put them together in a test setup. Since they don't have nuptial flights it is the only way to get them, because of that i don't know if i should feed something during the egg laying period or leave them be like the other queen ants i have. The photo was taken 24 hours after i caught them and they already had layed many of eggs, at that time i only had 3 queens in the setup but since then i added another and they have put a LOT of eggs.

i would feed them. they did not come out with wings so they don't have the stores to go on. mostly just honey and protien

What are your sugestions for protein?
Re: Should I feed these queens?
meal worms, cricket legs, super worms, chicken, or anything full of protein. I have no experience with these ants all i know it that they are invasive so they will most likely eat the normal.
