I am thinking of what I can feed my new colony of lasius niger which has 15 workers.
If anyone can help me, I would be happy.
Owning:
One small Lasius Niger colony

There are a ton of options.
For sugar and carbs, you can feed them sugar water, honey, fruits. For protien you can feed them soft boiled or hard boiled eggs,meat, insects like mealworms or roaches(you can buy them at any reptile or pet stores, or online)
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

I feed mine honey and sugar water for sugar, and dried insects + crushed mealworms for protein. You can also feed them fruit like apples for more sugar.
Ant colonies I own:
Lasius Niger colony x2
