I got some dried bird grubs for super cheap and I was wondering if it was possible to use them to feed ants. They don't seem to have any additional ingredients.
I think its these ones.

Re: Armstrong Bird Grubs as food for ants?
I doupt they would eat it, ants don't usually like dried up insects. I much prefer keeping a culture of feeder insects, much like livestock. If you don't want to do that, then you can give them protein jelly or protein liquid.
Keeping:
• Cataulacus granulatus x2
• Camponotus parius
• Odontomachus sp x4
• Pheidole prava x1
• Pseudoneoponera sp x1

Even if I was to dump them in water to hydrate? I see ants outside carrying dried insects all the time. They have to be able to eat and gain something from them. Also thanks for the discord link.
