Does anyone have any tips, my solenopsis geminata workers keep dying. 2 on the way here from the person that shipped them to me, 1 the next day, and 2 days later another one. I have one worker and no brood left. I moved them into another test tube yesterday, as the one they came in was a bit hard for maintenance, and have a heat cable over them. There is a cotton ball soaked in honey water inside, and will be getting some mealworms for them today. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or are they just gonna take some time to adjust to their new settings? Thanks in advance.
