I feel really bad for them because they were looking in the test tube for the colony. I’m gonna give them a happy life with plenty of food, sugars and everything they deserve. I’m gonna stay with them until they die.

Awh no way that is so sad :(
Wonder how they missed the pheromone trail :(
Research is important before during and even after you have established a colony. There is always time to learn and to listen to others experiences. Live by this and your ants will thrive. Fail to do so and your experience may be brief.

If you know where the rest of the colony settled you should try to put them back with the colony

They’re eating a lot and are living in a test tube!
