Hello
I recently got a test tube of 15-20 tetramorium ants. They are in a test tube setup but I do not know what I should feed them.
Thanks

Best way to feed young colonies is this setup:

Here is AntsCanada's video on the topic:

When my tetramorium colony was that young, I fed them crickets and honey mostly. Tetramorium aren't particularly picky so they will accept pretty much anything.

Mealworms, crickets, and dubia roaches are pretty good. Mealworms are probably the easiest to get. Variation is good I guess.
