Here's how to use this food mix set for your grain - collecting ants. First, for the protein food and protein feed FD, which are for insectivorous ant species, mix them with a drop of water. But once wet, they can only be kept for 1 day. Before reusing the feeding bowl or tube, clean it thoroughly. Keep the opened package well - closed if stored dry and use it before the best - before date. The carbohydrate food, for sugar/honey - eating ants, can also be mixed with a drop of water and has a 3 - day shelf - life when wet. Clean the feeding container before reuse and store the opened package properly. The fruit food, for fruit - eating ants, has the same wet storage and cleaning requirements as the carbohydrate food. The flower pollen can be given to the ants as it is. However, because humidity can soften it, replace it every 5 days and clean the feeding area. For the grain feeds, place the feeding bowl or tube in a dry place to prevent the grains from germinating. If germination is noticed, replace the feed. You can find information on using the feed tubes through the provided link. Refer to the package insert for details like composition, analytical ingredients, best - before date, and lot number.
