What substrate are you using?
Keeping:
3x - S. molesta
1x - C. chromaiodes
2x - F. pallidefulva
2x - C. cerasi
1x - B. depilis
2x P. imparis (colonies) 3x P. imparis queens (1x queen in test tube, 3x queens in test tube, and 6x queens in another test tube. Can't wait to see the results!)

I would lower the humidity. Do you water the chips?
no

maybe remove the rock. I feel that the ants feel that it it a better nesting place.
Or shine a bright light at the rock. Not sunlight and don't let it get hot.
warm them up a little.
ok

We went and got some more ants from the same colony and got some mealworms and jelly from petco
