How often should you feed a colony of about 20- 40 (sugar and protein schedule)\
Note that these ants are a big species about 9mm

You can experiment by giving a little bit of food and see if they eat it. If they eat that food, you give them a little bit more. Take care to clean the remaining food after they finish eating.

Feed them their protein maybe twice a week. As for sugars, I would do every 3 days.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
