So I have been keeping my Camponotus Nicobarensis ants, or sugar ants for about two months. My friend gave them to me, and yea. My queen seems to feel a little out of place, as she isn't going into any tunnels my workers have dug. And my workers have dug quite a few tunnels, but then abandoned them. I'm kinda confused on what's going on...

Also, I've been keeping them in a shaded area, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to do that?
