I have been keeping the refrig. container with the cats in it on my front porch in the shade. Temp usually about 85 to 95. Is that okay, or would it be better to bring it in the house, temp 74 to 76 degrees?

Two of them are eating and moving around. The third stays on a different stem of prickly ash, doesn't move much and seems to get smaller instead of larger and I've had doubts about it since the start. One was being attacked by an ant at the time I decided to bring them in and I'm guessing it is the one that isn't thriving.

Ants are the bane of my existence here. We have more varieties than you can count but especially bad carpenter ants and fire ants, and I'd like to sue those companies for false advertising that advertise that their product will work "all season long" because it doesn't. When I took this photo, I didn't realize there was an ant in it until later.
