Hello marcelant and welcome.

You need to put the sand/loam mix into the setup, connect the setup to the out world. put the ants into the out world (tube with ants) and they will find there way to the setup. Feed them sweets (honey, sugar water) and insects. (feel free to read around the forum a bit. )

Good luck.

[JimmyVe]

As for as i know they dont eat grains. You can try it, i did with mine and they didnt accept them.

[marcelant]

what type of grains i dont know aney grains can you tell me some plz

[thecowmaster]

well i thing you could try grass grains

[SteveUK28]

Mine dont except grains either.. just insects, meat and sweet things.. and my colony is doing great.. so they dont NEED grains to grow.

kk my ants are doing very good i got 5 workers and 2 soligers ant they still in test tube i am feeding them meal worms and suger honey fluid they love them both in the next 2 days i shold have 7 workers soon

[SteveUK28]

good good... Meal worms tho do not have lots of protein, they have a lof of fat. Try finding them some more bugs to eat from the garden.. spiders are good

[thecowmaster]

flies hava lots of protein too?

and if we give too many fat food to ants what does happen? they got obese? XD (just kiding) But what happens?

[SteveUK28]

well im not 100% but they wont be gettin the protein they need for the larvae to grow.. so i guess you'd get either a VERY slow developing colony.. or they would die out.. Thats if they was just fed high fat bugs of course... and i am just guessin here lol.. And yes id have thought that flies have good protein. But something like crickets are the best.. as you get to keep them and feed them before you give them to your ants.. so you know what goes into the bugs... And if your feeding your bugs on high protein then your ants get good protein.

my colony is doing good 17 workers and 5 soilgers and one more thing do antstore deliver on sundays and i orderd some crickets as well .
