Hi everyone. Please help me with my questions. My ants have been hibernating for three months now, and I live in Saskatchewan Canada. So the weather is still very cold and there are no ants outside. My questions are should I hibernate them for two more months, and if I do, do I need to take them out and feed them more food before I put them back into the cooler for two more months just in case they don't have enough food? Thank you!

 

 

Merry Christmas!!

its up to you, 3 months is all that's needed, you can go up to 5 months if you want.
