Ant Food & Insect Food – Energy and growth for your colony

Non-Flying Fruit Flies – Essential proteins for your colony

Proteins are indispensable for the establishment and growth of an ant colony. While adult worker ants primarily use sugars for energy, the ant queen needs proteins to lay eggs, and larvae use these building blocks for growth. These **non-flying fruit flies** (20-50 pieces) form the perfect, bite-sized protein source for young and nascent ant colonies, and also make an excellent meal for small praying mantises, spiders, and poison dart frogs.

Easy to feed and store

Thanks to a natural mutation, these fruit flies cannot fly. This makes them very easy to offer to your colony with tweezers or directly from the test tube in the outworld, without having to worry about escapees.

Storage tip: Feed immediately or freeze

The flies are delivered in a convenient test tube and are intended to be fed immediately upon receipt. Do you want them to last longer? Then place the tube directly in the freezer! Frozen, the fruit flies will keep for several weeks. You can then thaw a few flies as needed, every day or few days, and offer them to your ants.

Tip for continuous breeding: This loose portion of fruit flies is intended as direct food. Since postal delivery can sometimes impact the vitality of the flies, we recommend ordering our special fruit fly breeding kit for a constant, fresh supply. This way, you can easily and affordably breed your own fresh flies at home!

Key benefits at a glance:

• Easy to handle: Cannot fly, so no escaping flies in the house.
• Essential nutrient source: Packed with proteins for rapid larval development.
• Convenient to store: Ideal for immediate freezing for later use.
• Bite-sized format: Perfectly adapted to the jaws of nascent ant colonies.

Suitable for feeding:

• Nascent and small ant colonies (such as Lasius, Formica, Tetramorium, Camponotus)
• Young praying mantises and small spiders
• Small amphibians and poison dart frogs

Product specifications:

• Quantity: Approx. 20 to 50 pieces
• Packaging: Transparent test tube

Ready-to-Use Sugar Water (2 ml) – Essential energy for your ant colony

A healthy ant colony needs two things to thrive: protein (from insects) for the growth of larvae and the queen, and sugars for the energy of the active workers. This **ready-to-use sugar water** is specially formulated for the needs of ants. It provides a readily available source of carbohydrates and, together with honeydew and feeder insects, forms the ideal basic diet for almost all ant species.

Safe feeding with the included cotton wool

Feeding loose liquids in the outworld quickly poses a risk of drowning for ants. That's why you receive a separate cotton wool with this tube of sugar water. Simply apply a few drops of sugar water to the cotton wool and place it on a feeding dish or in the arena. The ants can then safely suck the moisture from the cotton wool without getting stuck or drowning.

Easy to use and long-lasting

The sugar water is supplied in a compact test tube (13 x 75 mm) with a content of 2 ml. This is enough to provide a small to medium-sized colony with controlled energy for months.

Usage tip for feeding:

Offer a small amount of sugar water on a moistened piece of cotton wool every few days. If the cotton wool dries out over time, you can easily moisten it again with a few new drops from the test tube.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Ready to use: No hassle with dissolving sugar yourself or measuring ratios.
• Includes separate cotton wool: Makes safely and controlled dispensing of liquid very easy.
• 100% Safe: Prevents drowning in the outworld or arena.
• Long-lasting: 2 ml content is sufficient for several months of feeding.
• Reusable tube: The plastic tube is easy to clean and reuse after use.

Suitable for feeding:

• All ant species (such as Messor, Lasius, Camponotus, Formica, Myrmica etc.)
• Supplementary energy supply for seed-eating species (such as Messor and Pheidole)

Product specifications:

• Sugar water content: 2 ml
• Tube length: 75 mm (7.5 cm)
• Tube diameter: 13 mm
• Tube material: Transparent plastic (reusable)
• Included: Separate dosing cotton wool

Honeydew Surrogate (2 ml) – Rich in essential sugars, minerals & amino acids

In nature, ants love honeydew: the nutritious nectar secreted by aphids. To provide your ants in the formicarium with exactly the same valuable nutrients, we at Antfarm have developed our own **honeydew surrogate**. This mixture is richer in nutrients than standard sugar water and contains a balanced combination of sugars, minerals, and amino acids. Extensively tested by us and suitable for all ant species!

Safe dosing with the included cotton pad

Feeding loose liquids to ants quickly carries the risk of drowning. To prevent this, you will receive a **separate dosing cotton pad** with the honeydew tube. Simply apply a drop of honeydew to a small piece of the cotton pad and place it on a feeding dish in the arena. The ants can safely and controllably suck up the nectar without getting stuck.

Developed and used by Antfarm

We use this exact recipe daily for the care of our own ant colonies. It forms the perfect complement to a diet of sugar water and fresh feeder insects (and seeds for species like Messor and Pheidole).

Storage advice for optimal freshness: To maintain the high quality and nutritional value of the amino acids, the honeydew tube should be stored in the freezer. Offer a fresh drop weekly on the cotton pad and immediately return the sealed tube to the freezer. This way, it will last for several months!

Key benefits at a glance:

• Own recipe: Specially developed and extensively tested by Antfarm.
• Rich in nutrients: Packed with natural sugars, minerals, and amino acids.
• Includes separate cotton pad: Ensures accurate dosing and prevents drowning.

Fruit Cup for Ants & Insects – Tasty and safe energy source

Do you want to treat your ant colony, beetles, stick insects, or reptiles to a delicious and nutritious snack? These **Fruit Cups** have been one of the most appreciated treats among insect enthusiasts for years. The jelly is packed with natural sugars, carbohydrates, and essential vitamins that provide active workers with a significant boost of energy.

Furthermore, your outworld or arena will remain much cleaner, and the jelly dries out less quickly.

Special Seed Mix – The ultimate nutrition for your harvester ants

Seed-collecting ant species, such as the popular Harvester Ant (Messor barbarus and other Messor and Pheidole species), have a unique diet. Instead of primarily living on insects and sugars, these ants collect seeds to store in the nest. They chew the seeds finely, mix them with their saliva, and thus create nutritious 'ant bread'. This **specially formulated seed mix** offers the perfect variety and balance your colony needs to grow healthily.

Rich variety of over 50 types of seeds

Variety in the diet stimulates the ants' natural foraging behavior. Our mix consists of a careful selection of over 50 different types of fine grass seeds and bird seeds. Because it contains both very small and slightly larger seeds, both the smaller workers (minors) and the large jaws of the soldiers (majors) can immediately get to work filling the storerooms.

From our own breeding experience: Tested on millions of ants!

This mix is not just any birdseed or grass seed mix from the store. We have composed this combination ourselves and have been using exactly this mix for years for all our own breeding colonies — from tiny colonies with a few dozen workers to gigantic supercolonies of over 10,000 ants. So we know from our own experience with millions of ants: **this is the nutrition that works!**

Economical in use

For a new colony (up to approximately 30 workers), one package of this seed mix is more than sufficient for at least a full year of feeding.

Key benefits at a glance:

• 50+ Types of seeds: Rich variety of fine grass and bird seeds for an optimal diet.
• Proven quality: Exactly the mix that Mierenboerderij uses for all its own breeding colonies.
• Stimulates natural behavior: Perfect for creating seed stores and making ant bread.

Feeding Tray – Clean, organized, and hygienic feeding in the outworld

Keeping the outworld clean is essential for a healthy ant colony.
