Description:
This is Food Mix Set for various species of ants that feed on carbohydrates and proteins. It contains everything the ants need for a balanced diet. Since the individual food rations are filled in separate tubes, they are easy to dose. It is recommended to moisten the protein, carbohydrate and fruit food minimally with a little water. This will also prevent the powder from trickling out when used in the “center” formicarium in the hole.

Use/Application:
Protein food = for insectivorous ant species (Eulipotyphla).
It is a supplementary feed (mixed feed)
It should be mixed with a drop of water and then it can be kept only 1 day when wet. Clean feeding bowl/tube thoroughly before reuse.

Protein feed FD = for insectivorous ant species (Eulipotyphla)
It is a supplementary feed (compound feed).
It should be mixed with a drop of water and then it can be kept only 1 day when wet. Clean feeding bowl/tube thoroughly before reuse.
An opened package should be used well closed (if stored dry) until the indicated (best before date).

Carbohydrate food = for sugar/honey-eating ant species
It is a supplementary feed (compound feed)

Sugar honey solution = for sugar/honey eating ant species.
