The winter and the hibernation time are coming and i wan't to add some protein for the last time. The pet store is far away from me and i can't buy insects. I search for insects in my garden, but i don't found anything. Are you guys know any alternative ways to feed my ants with protein?

Ants sometimes accept protien sources such as cooked chicken or wet dog food.

And this way isn't harmful for ants?
