Food help for Camponatus Queens
Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2017 10:54 pm
Hello! This topic prolly dovetails into keeping too, since I'm new, but my queens haven't been doing well. Workers have been dying and they have no new eggs. Both queens look lethargic too...
Well, I've been giving them small pieces of fruit, and trying to clean the area I feed them too. (As soon as there were 3 ants hatched my mom basically shoehorned me to god be them an out world). What should I supply for protein? Both are extremely small, so crickets and such would be wasteful. Flies, perhaps? And how frequently should I feed?
I would love to get the queens healthy again and laying, but I'm also afraid my mother might be stressing them out by constantly checking on them.
