Helle guys!
This is my first ant-colony, and i am really excited to begin observing development and life of my colony .
It is now three weeks ago my lasius niger colony (1 queen, 15 workers) woke up from hibernation. They are doing well and the queen is already laying pupas. I bought som dry-grilled crickets from antstore and a bottle of sugar-honey mix for my ants. The problem is. They dont eat the crickets and the honey-sugar mix? Is Lasius niger not able to eat grilled crickets?. Hmm.. perhaps the colony is to small yet and simply dont eat that much?
