This colony has some great color! It got a new container and was fed some sunburst. They instantly filled up and are now quite fat. Looking forward to majors!

I've noticed that before, but never saw it as well as I can in that picture. That's so cool.

Has yours eaten anything other than liquid sweets? Mine seems to ignore everything else.

Is your culture growing? Mine doesn't seem to be exploding like they used to...

I have noticed that all my Camponotus will ignore other foods if you give them too many sweets. It seems of ruin their taste for anything else. When I don't feed them liquid sweets for awhile, they will readily take freeze dried mealworms, insects, chicken, and all sorts of stuff.

Interesting, so you're basically saying they're kids?
