i give proteen jelly to my ants for the brood how long can i keep it in the basin without it going mouldy because when u buy them you only get 6 they must last for a long time?
I wouldn't put all the jelly into the basin... i would open one jelly and take a bit for the ants and put the rest into the fridge or even freeze it. I guess you can keep it in the basin for around 5 days... but i'm not sure... but as i said, i would freeze the rest and only give them a bit, so you don't have to waste too much because they don't eat it in time...
protien jelly will last about 24hrs at room tempreture safley (ie before growing bactiria and mold), best way to give it to your ants, is to give them a TINY amount, in a small container (eg cut out a segmant from an old pill popper )
the jelly will probably liquidize, so make sure no ants drown in it, use only a tiny amount
The opened jelly will last a few weeks in the fridge, so just add a little bit every 24 hours
