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.
