I am going to leave for a five day vacation for spring break soon. How much food should I give to sustain them for 5 days? How much should I water the formicaria? Please help (and fast; I'm leaving in a day or two)!

Honestly,as long as they have access to water, they will be fine for five days. If you want just leave some syrup or honey in the outworld. It will be fine.

Thanks. I was panicking a bit as this is my first time traveling since owning ants (except for one time when I was VERY new and I only had a couple queens in the founding stage).
