What foods can Carpenter Ants eat?

Idk what to feed them I already fed them honey but I can't keep feeding them honey! I'm trying to feed them meat so that the larva will grow. What food can I feed Carpenter Ants?

They are probably getting ready for hibernation. My colony likes crickets; you could try that.Mohammadmacapundag wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 8:30 pmWhat foods can Carpenter Ants eat?

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Re: What do carpenter ants eat?
Carpenter ants are primarily omnivorous, meaning they eat a variety of foods including insects, sweets, meats, and fats. While honey is a good source of carbohydrates, it's also important to provide them with https://www.dg-customerfirst.com protein rich foods for larval development. Try offering them protein sources like cooked eggs, chicken, or other cooked meats. Additionally, you can provide them with small pieces of fruits or vegetables for added nutrition.
