Just got the colony a few days ago with 100 workers and a few queens, for the first day they where super active and have dug a new nest however now they seem to never leave the nest... the temperature is right at about 23oC and the humdity however they wont venture out side of their home... One worker seems to come out now and then but nothing else.

I looked in the nest and they are all alive but I cant help notice that they all seem to be "sleeping" or very dosile anyway...

COuld they be hibernating?!?

Regards

they are probably just settling in, dont worry put a bit of honey and sum dead insects for them and they'l come out when theyr ready

In deed, hold on a few days, if they still not come out at next week maybe than there will be a problem. Give them honey or sugar/water, these species like it very much.

For hibernation it is way to soon, and you say they are at 23°c that also is way to high for hibernation.
