Instructions
Give your ants water within their habitat. Although they don't need a lot of water, they still need a small amount to thrive. Since the habitat contains sand, put one or two drops into the sand each day.
Cut up pieces of fresh fruits. You should use pieces of fruit that hold up well if not eaten right away. Usually, apples work well since they're easy to slice. You can put two pieces every other day into the ant habitat.
Serve vegetable slices regularly as well. To give the pet ants a change, you may want to serve veggies as well. Ants enjoy eating lettuce and celery pieces. Follow the same feeding schedule: give them a couple pieces every other day.
Add a treat of sugar each week. Give your ants a couple drops of sugar water to enjoy once a week. Take a tiny pinch of sugar and mix it with the small amount of water.
