No they like their natural meats usually. It helps them grow faster. Also give them natrul carbohydrates.

I have started feeding mine

Fruit like bannana, tomatos and cucumber
any un processsed meat with nothing added including fish
Eggs.

And then insects and some jelly

I swap it out every 2 days before it starts going dry and really they eat what i eat (+ insects and jelly)

Just try to keep it all natual, no additives and if they seem to like it make a note as one of the things they eat.

I not sure what foods if any are poisions to ants, but been find so far.
