ANTSTORE World of Ants

i read on a forum about liquid ant jelly.heres the post:

My Tapinoma also love liquid ant jelly (contridicting, I know).
I boil 1 cup of water, put in a dollop of honey, and syrup, with 2-3 drops
of multivitamin liquid, let it cool, then beat in a raw egg. I put this stuff
in a pice of 3/8 tubing plugged on each end with cotton. You can't even see the
cotton because the ants are drinking it non-stop. Great protein source for larvae, too.

someone has tryed this?its better than the jelly?

[miszt]

its exactly the same, but without a gelling agent to make it into jelly, most jelly will become a liquid after a short time warming up anyway

[mzfckr]

its easier is to make liquid than jelly so i think better is the liquid

[JimmyVe]

It is not necessary to make it into jelly.

Just wondering does anyone else use this Liquid Jelly ???

[Purifier]

I only used the Antstore protein jelly for my Polyrhachis dives. Never tried to make it on my own....
But my Polies loves that stuff. Think no ant would despise it

[JimmyVe]

I to tried the jelly's from Anstore, almost all of the species i keep like them. Never tried making it myself.

[SteveUK28]

ok so from 2 pro's you buy.. mmm me thinks it may be good advise

[JimmyVe]

you could try to make it yourself but we just think it is easier just to buy it.
Buy a few of them and try it out, could be your ants don't like it at all but i doubt it.

[ant dude]

i three feed my ants the jelly from antsore, and most ant species like this(good stuff) but like the others i have not tried making it my self.......it really is so much easy though i will agree to buy instead of to make i mean

[mzfckr]

but the shipping price

[Purifier]

I believe in reptile pet shops you should get that, too.

[ant dude]

shipping price is not such a bad problem, for me anyway as i do paper rounds, i get pocket money, x mas money(thats a real lot lol!) and also birthday money and that quite a fair bit aswell so.........

yeah ill try looking around soon i 1 or 2 reptile shops that are near where i live,as it might be very helpful to me and then i could more regaly shop there. but only if its any good there,but probaly should be as for a number of people it has proven a succes on this forum!!!

off-topic: do u know of anything i could try for my ants that reptile shops should sell?(that's any good)

[miszt]

Reptile Protien jelly is available at most good pet shops, u can also get heaters, tanks, water heaters, lamps, circkets and other insects, loads of stuff keeping ants is very similar to keeping reptiles, they are just smaller, so need diffrent escape prevention

[ant dude]

ok thanks, ill have to take a look at my local pet shops. ill probaly go on the weekend as during the week there is not much time 4 me i'll try some of the live foods they have for my ants, hopefully i can pick quite a few things up there like basins etc.
