What are other human food alternatives

I don't know of any human food alternatives currently but other members may. Some people have had success with feeding them bloodworms. I will post a link to the topic discussing the "Bloodworm Soup" here http://www.formicult.../?hl=bloodworms

don't know about these species but I have my ants slices of Turkey ham before. I also have tried bits of chicken. Nothing fried just plain old meats, probably wouldn't be as favorable as insects.

Try to have a bit more ventilation. Also if u turn over the dirt, so the white stuff goes under, It should help to get rid of the molt.

If u keep having this problem, u can always use some sand. I know for sure u will find some in your area. U don't need that much.

Also, i think u look at the queen a bit too much. Try to leave her alone for more than a week and u will be surprised of the evolution.

Just don't respond on the reactions that isn't about your questions. And u will be saved. Only respond if its ant related.

I have the feeling we are stuck in a loop here. So i don't want to hear you saying you are leaving or something while making another thread. And repeating everything.

We love ants, we love everyone who love ants. Pro or amateur. We all have to start somewhere

I think you forgot your CapsLock..

It means, turn it around. Mix it. Or maybe easier, get everything out, shake it and put it back.

Highlytze, this sort of stuff is half the reason we annoy you. Wa.Va gave you a very sensible answer, and if you don't understand it, ask. Since we can't physically yell at people online, caps are seen as a sign of aggression, that you dislike what that person is saying and that you are screaming and yelling and unhappy in general. If Wa.Va's answer is like the usual BS that I post on your threads, that would be fine. But it isn't, try to refrain from being cocky and ask nicely, that way others will be much more willing to help.

 

P.S. Yes, he means turn it over.

How much clearer do you need it to be? Do you need us to provide the definition of the words Turn and Over? If you still haven’t grasped the concept you need to take out the tube with the queen in it and start mixing up the soil.

Haha, sorry, I just misinterpreted it, that's all.

 

If you reply with something like this, people will be less likely to tease you.

Stop, this is silly, I'm serious

 

Like, I get that you are upset, but this sort of stuff does not make it any better.

Everyday is full of stress

[DDD101DDD]

Can we get back on topic? Anyway, I don't think ants would be able to live without eating insects too, and (to my knowledge) there aren't many alternate food sources that ants can solely live off of.

[Hightlyze]

How about termites? They show up once in a while

[DDD101DDD]

Termites are good ant food.

[Pumpkin_Loves_Ants]

Termites would be good. Just remember to prekill them so the queens don’t hurt themselves trying to catch them. I have also heard termites are sensitive to pesticides and other chemicals so the ones that have ingested any would be dead.

[Wa.Va]

Hey, the loop started already? i told ya, anyway. Termites are indeed a good source, i think for u a good advice would be, most insects u can find will be good. Especially flies, spiders and tiny other creatures. But not alive. Give them dead. U can cut them half with a scissor or squeeze them with your finger.

Turn over

ah you understand everyday adult life.

[NickAnter]

I would take the dirt out and replace it with sand.  That should fix it.  Also, don't hydrate the dirt/sand.
