What's this?
Ant Core is aThe feed that "keeps the ants eating for a long time". We will continue to feed the ants on a weekly and even monthly basis 🐜🍽️
This product is not designed for newbies, it is for veterans who don't want to make mistakes. Feeding ants shouldn't be a hassle for the busy you.
"Ant Core is aManaged feedsIt is not an interactive feed."
How do you do that?
Ant Core is aUltra-high compression solid feedsThe outer layer will come into contact with moisture in the air and slowly start to deliquesce. Its outer layer will come into contact with the moisture in the air and slowly start to deliquesce, producing a thin layer of feed liquid on the surface for ants to lick and eat.
And it stays dry inside and doesn't melt all the way through, which makes it last a long time, doesn't go bad, and doesn't need to be refrigerated.
How do I use it? （The right way to use it.)
- Take out an Ant Core.
- Put it in the feeding area.We recommend placing them in our included food bowls.The
- Make sure the feeding area is "well ventilated" and not too confined.
- The ants will feed on the ant cores until they are finished.
※ Ultra-small tube feeders without a ventilator may melt faster.
Don't use it like this (wrong way & save)
- ❌ Do not put it in a test tube.
- Moisture will melt the feed and even crush the ants.
- ❌ Do not place in a small, enclosed feeding area.
- It will allow deliquescence to occur too quickly, spoil or mold.
- ❌ Do not add water to the ant core
- The whole piece will melt straight away and deteriorate prematurely.
Is this feed right for you?
This feed is best suited for the following types of feeders:
✅ You have many swarms of ants to feed (many nests or many jobs)
✅ You sometimes forget to feed, or can't keep a regular schedule.
✅ You're going on a business trip or abroad.
✅ You no longer derive pleasure from the feeding process, but want to save energy and time
✅ You prefer "let the ants develop in a stable manner" to "daily interaction".
✅ You want to be a regular Jelly or Icee user, but you're worried about the nutritional benefits.
"Give yourself some breathing space and give the ants a stable source of nutrition."

❗ If you are new to this feed and strongly looking forward to feeding interactions, this feed may turn you off.
❗ Ant Core doesn't let ants go on a feeding frenzy in minutes, it lets ants "take their time whenever they want".
❗ You won't have to go through the ritual of soaking the feed and dropping it off as "I'm hand-feeding it".
Your house is so boring and humid.
However, it also makes ants less likely to overeat and more likely to be healthy in the long run. You can also use it asFood Preparation System UsageFor example, feed alternately with other feeds such as powder, jelly, breadworms, roaches, etc.
"It's not the star of the feeding show, it's the guaranteed undercard of your feeding system."
How to determine if the core is replaced?
Everything is in order and no replacement is required:
- Core intact
- Wet core surface
- The core is dismantled or dug up
- Core semi-dissolved or dissolved, but ants will eat or surround it
Not normal, may be deteriorating or failing, need to replace core:
- Core dissolved or semi-soluble, and long yellow mold or odor
- Core dissolves, ants starve for days but still don't eat
- The core is dissolved and filled in.
Supplementary notes (situations you might encounter)
- The surface of the feed is still dry when it is first put down.It is normal that ants may not feed immediately.
- After a few hours or even the next day, the feed will start to dehumidify and the ants will slowly gather to eat it.
- If you find that the ants are not fighting for food very aggressively, don't worry, they will continue to feed when they need to.It's a "slow and steady" feeding method.The
- Ants may move the feed, tear down the feed, or take it to fill up the cracks. These are normal behaviors and will not affect the feeding process.
- If there is no wind or high humidity, the core will melt to a certain extent, but it can be left until the ants don't eat it or it becomes moldy.
