kk my ants are doing very good i got 5 workers and 2 soligers ant they still in test tube i am feeding them meal worms and suger honey fluid they love them both in the next 2 days i shold have 7 workers soon
good good... Meal worms tho do not have lots of protein, they have a lof of fat. Try finding them some more bugs to eat from the garden.. spiders are good :)
flies hava lots of protein too?
Edit Antstore - please use the edit function!

and if we give too many fat food to ants what does happen? they got obese? XD (just kiding) But what happens?
well im not 100% but they wont be gettin the protein they need for the larvae to grow.. so i guess you'd get either a VERY slow developing colony.. or they would die out.. Thats if they was just fed high fat bugs of course... and i am just guessin here lol.. And yes id have thought that flies have good protein. But something like crickets are the best.. as you get to keep them and feed them before you give them to your ants.. so you know what goes into the bugs... And if your feeding your bugs on high protein then your ants get good protein. :D
my colony is doing good 17 workers and 5 soilgers and one more thing do antstore deliver on sundays and i orderd some crickets as well :D :D .
well that depends on the post in your countrie, E.g. here in enlgand it is very rare to get any post on sunday(letters or parcal) or in time lol
hope this helps

I have a question. New to ant keeping. What medium should I use. I live in Alaska so buying supplies from antstore.net is not the best option. I can buy the Excavator loam substrate at a local pet store. Should I mix this with sand? If so what ratio? 3 parts loam substrate to 1 part sand?
The prepackaged mediums say 3 parts sand to 1 part loam, loam just being a loamy soil? So would another option be to mix sand 3:1 with a good soil?
Thank you for your help.
