Should I provide food for my ants?Updated 8 months ago

Believe it or not, one of the worst things you can do to your ants is to give them too much water and food. Although your ants are active and seem to be working up a big appetite, it is best to feed them according to the directions. Overfeeding and overwatering will shorten your ants’ life spans.

Your ants depend on you for their food. Place a tiny piece of carrot or apple in Ant Mountain™. It should be about the size of a popcorn kernel. Once the food has disappeared, replace it with a fresh piece.
