  • What do I feed my ants?
    Ants need two things: sugars and carbohydrates. The sugars you will see often in form of sugarwater sold by many ant stores. You can make your own sugarwater from mixing sugar and water together. Next up is insects. In order to lay eggs and for larvae to pupate ants need protein. You can buy feeder insects from your local petshop or catch some insects outside. Always pre-kill your insects and freeze or boil them to avoid mites contaminating your ants. If you have more questions about keeping ants join our discord server!
