I have a camponotus queen and the eggs are getting big. I am starting to work on the formicarium for the colony. I am thinking of getting a large ant tower. Does anyone have recommendations on what substrate I should use in it? And any diet recommendations for the colony?

I would say crushed wood fiber for substrate. Fruit flies and sugar water would be a food source.

When I am searching around coconut wood fiber seems to be popular is that what you would recommend for them?
