What to Feed Odontomachus?

As of now I'm feeding my odontomachus colony baby nymphs, I tried feeding them a slice of papaya and honey but they rejected it. Any suggestions?

All you need is to experiment with everything, try new feeder insects and a variety of fruits. Also ants will change on their preferences. My colony liked pomegranates but now they dont
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Odontomachus usually won't eat honey or fruits, they eat insects. Try feeding them a variety of insects. My colony will eat mealworms, superworms, feeder roaches, crickets, termites, grasshoppers and possibly more. Mine liked brown sugar but there is no guarentee that yours will too.
