What type of dry foods can i feed my ants? can i feed them fodder flakes or fish food ( cus it looks just the same ). So far i hav givin them some crickets which they loved, also a spider today.
Plus how much food do they require??
cheers max.
I heard that crickets do'nt work very well.
really?? Well if you cut of the main back legs at the base, the ants can easily eat the inards. Take the abdomine and cut it very slightly at the bottom end so that there is a gap for them to enter and feed.
This worked for me. But not all ants are the same.
most of my ants like crickets to, but i is different for each colony (even from the same species) you can try stuff and see what they like the most.
I give my lasius niger bugs (spiders, crickets, mosquitos, cockroaches, flour maggots, ...) sucker-water, honey.
Plus how much food do they require??
I feed most of my colony's 2-3 times a week. If they eat it all this is good, if they don't eat it all feed them less. If you now what i mean.
Yeah i understand.
Well they are having about 2 a week now and they are fine so i should stick with what works then.
cheers mate,

indeed. ;)
For now it is enough, maybe when the colony is bigger you need to feed more. if you see they finished it the next day (what you give) you can feed them a little more or more times a week.
yeah..ok thanks for the advice, its all very helpfull.
I really enjoy my ants, whatching them work is so facinating !!!
m a x .
i now what you mean, if i had the time i could watch them the hole day. ;)
Greets
Well i give mine some honey(well some so that they can always get some)
and some dry insekts and once a week a live one(boiled) works well
Sugar should work too.
