Fire ant diet ideas?
I recently moved my ants into a formacarium but have not much of an idea of what to feed them exactly other than crickets. I know that they need meat, sugary food, and water but I don't know what exactly to feed them. Do fire ants have any certain foods that they like/prefer?

As far as protein mine liked chicken. they ate fried chicken, hot wings, cooked chicken breast. Mine were not big on chocolate, they liked super worms (I broke then half), crickets,Voltagekid56 wrote:I recently moved my ants into a formacarium but have not much of an idea of what to feed them exactly other than crickets.

With Solenopsis there is a general rule for native fire ants... "If it stops long enough a fire ant will eat it"

Proverbs 6:6-11
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.

That's why I tried it with mine and they wouldn't really touch it.idahoantgirl wrote:Mikey bustos says his solinopsis gemineta loves chocolate...
