Cricket or cockroach is more nutritious for ants than meal worms. I use crickets.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

25ml Liquid Amino Acid (a kind of athlete drink known as BCAA, usually sold in capsule form in ****)
50ml Maple Syrup (or Honey)
130gr Glucose Known as grape sugar, normal sugar good as well)
480ml water
mix these on room temperature and make tube setups with this mixture for the ants to drink
contains everything they get from aphids in the nature

Do you use the powder or liquid BCAA? Or I'll just ask what you use, what's it called? Lol.

I use powder from body building shop (leftover frm bodybuilding) but once it's depleted I'm gonna buy liquid because the powder that I have left is flavored and I don't think it adds that much extra for my ants, they seem to prefer honey/sugar flavor instead of fruits etc.xTNxANTMANx wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2017 4:54 pmDo you use the powder or liquid BCAA?

The only problem is that I had left a quantity for a week for myself but that's enough for like ten liters of this stuff so I might just buy a new load of it in liquid form

Re: Perfect recipie
I looked up Liquid BCAA on amazon and it gives so many options. I wanna get one that's cheap but not real sure what I'm looking for. Is it just an amino ***** or what exactly?
