Important: If she has workers, or is a semi-Claustral ant, she will also need protein. Please check the ant sheet that arrives with your ant to see if your queen is semi-Claustral. For protein, we use chopped up live mealworms from Petbarn (dried mealworms will not work). Remove the head and tail so the ants can access the meat, then give them a third of a worm every five days. Remove the old protein after a few days so it does not mould. These mealworms keep in the fridge.
For more on caring for your ant, see our ant farm survival guide.
