Introducing FormiProtein, the ideal hassle-free solution for feeding your ants! Crafted with high-quality protein, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids, FormiProtein makes an excellent supplement to your regular feeding routine.

 

Each 16.67-gram packet provides 30 feedings when used with our 5mL liquid feeders (diluted with water), offering a convenient choice for those seeking simplicity. Use the included measuring scoop, mix with warm water, and shake well. Then, delight in watching your tiny companions savour their meal! 

 

FormiProtein's versatility allows it to be served as a paste, perfect for small colonies requiring smaller portions. Simply scoop a small amount of powder and add water using a dropper or pipette to achieve the desired consistency. If you use less than the provided measuring scoop per serving, you'll enjoy more than 30 feedings.

 

FormiProtein primarily contains dried black soldier fly larvae and salmon fish, offering a nutritious protein source for your ants. Suitable for various species, it can be used in its dry form, as a wet paste, or as a liquid solution. While not intended to replace or substitute a diverse protein diet, it is a beneficial supplement when fresh insects are unavailable.

 

Please be aware that no single commercially formulated product can provide ants with a well-rounded, nutritious diet for long-term sustenance. Various food sources, particularly natural protein, are essential for optimal ant colony health and brood development. FormiProtein is designed to complement their diet as a supplementary option, handy when fresh protein sources are not readily available.

  • Method 1 - For feeding dishes (solid food):

    Place the desired amount of formiProtein powder on a feeding dish. Using a dropper, hydrate the powder one drop at a time until it forms a paste. Aim for a consistency that is as liquid as possible without being runny. Remove any uneaten portions between 24-48 hours after mixing or when the mixture dries out.

     

    Method 2 - For liquid feeders:

    Add one level scoop of formiProtein powder to 5ml of hot-to-the-touch water using the provided measuring scoop. Mix well by shaking or stirring, and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Shake again before serving. Remove any uneaten portions between 24-48 hours after mixing. This method delivers the protein in a diluted form.

     

    Liquid feeder compatibility:
    When using FormiProtein in liquid form with a feeder, it is recommended to use a feeder that provides direct access to the liquid.

    From our product line, the following feeders are suitable as they have no metal screen: Nano Tower Feeder - Plastic Screen, Tower Feeder - Plastic Screen, and Liquid Feeder - Moat Style. These feeders will allow the small solids to pass through without any issues.

    However, the Tower Feeder - Metal Mesh may not be the best choice for FormiProtein in liquid form, as the metal screen's tiny pores may quickly become clogged with small solids.

     

    It's important to note that liquid feeder servings are best suited for larger colonies.
