If it's a newly caught queen buddy, you should identify it first. If she's a claustral queen no need to feed her until she had her 1st batch of workers, if semi claustral queen, you should feed her every 3 to 4 days.

Drinking water is a must buddy so it should be always available for them. If you mean the nest, just water it if it looks dry. You can tell by comparing it to the hills around it which is so light cause of dryness.

Hello! I recently found a strange type of ants in my yard. I dug up the nest and put it in a jar. Idk if I got the queen or not but I did get broods. My question is what type of ants are they? Small but not tiny, bodies are dull (not shiny) and they are all black except the tips are white on antennas. They are docile. I found them in the ground under a plant near an oak tree. They seem very reclusive. Only one or two ants foraging. Not a line of them. Not very many either (like fire ants) so no swarm of them when I dug them up. Maybe I found a new species. lol I can send you video of them if you want.

Hey, I am making plans to use ants as feeders for poison dart frogs since fruit flies escape far too easily. As an expert, can you recommend to me any species of ant that is small, (about 1/8 of an inch at the most) unequipped with stingers or other defenses, and reproduces really quickly?

I'm not from Germany but I never looked into ant species when I started my colonies, I just went out when they were flying and got me some queens (some I lost naturally, a few were due to my own error) but I now have 5 colonies. [2 black, 3 red] All my ants are only just starting to wake back up as the weather is warming, and my red ants that I found last year so far only have a very small number of workers. While I know other parts of the world have leafcutter or weaver or seed eating ants, I don't think there's any of that where I live so I'm not too worried about not being able to provide them with specialist things that colonies like that may need.
