Made with mealworm protein, this diet provides a rich and sustainable food source that supports brood growth and colony development. Its soft pâté texture makes it easy for workers to collect and share with larvae, offering ant keepers a convenient alternative to preparing fresh insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffer a small portion to your ants on foil, wax paper, or in a feeding dish. Workers will break apart the pâté and carry it back to the colony. Provide portions appropriate to colony size and remove uneaten food after 24–48 hours to maintain nest hygiene. For a balanced diet, offer alongside a carbohydrate source such as sugar water or honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product has a shelf life of \u003cstrong\u003eone year when unopened\u003c\/strong\u003e.

We optionally offer ice cube trays designed for ant keepers. \u003cstrong\u003eFill the tray with pâté, freeze the portions, and remove one cube when needed. Diet ice cubes can remain in the freezer for up to 6 months\u003c\/strong\u003e. Allow the portion to thaw briefly before offering it to the colony. This method allows convenient, consistent serving sizes and helps extend usability after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMealworms (\u003cem\u003eTenebrio molitor\u003c\/em\u003e), milk, water, egg yolk, pea protein, butter, tapioca starch, salt, natural flavor, barley malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay contain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrustaceans, milk, eggs, barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMontreal, Canada. 🐜\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canada Ant Colony","offers":[{"title":"Jar (150g)","offer_id":47958453911774,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jar (150g) + Ice Cube Tray with Lid","offer_id":47958453944542,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/8928\/0333\/files\/Screenshot2026-03-05235543.png?v=1772772971","url":"https:\/\/canada-ant-colony.com\/pa\/products\/ant-colony-protein-diet","provider":"Canada Ant Colony","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
