Ordering some protein for Camponotus Maritimus and semitestaceus from https://www.rainbowmealworms.net

What are the best things you'd recommend to order to feed these ants?

Thanks

I feed mine almost exclusively dubias roaches.

I do offer superworms and hornworms every once in awhile.

A variety is best. Mealworms, superworms, dubia roaches, and crickets would be a very healthy diet.

"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds (including ants). And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version

Keeping:

Tetramorium immigrans

Formica cf. pallidefulva, cf. incerta, cf. argentea

Formica cf. aserva, cf. subintegra

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Pheidole bicarinata

Myrmica sp.

Lasius neoniger, brevicornis
