Please inform us what you are giving them.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Also keep in mind that ant's aren't going to "forget" what to eat. If they don't need the food, they won't take it. They may just be at a stage of development where they don't need a ton of food. let us know what your trying to feed them and what species you have.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
