Ant Care & Nutrition – Everything for a Healthy and Active Colony

Nutrition Plateau Deluxe – The ultimate all-in-one feeding station

A varied diet is the key to a fast-growing and healthy ant colony. With the **Nutrition Plateau Deluxe**, you serve your worker ants a complete menu in one clear station. This luxurious plateau features three separate indentations, specially designed to offer ants' three main food sources simultaneously.

Clearly labelled for optimal overview

To make feeding even clearer, a distinct letter is placed above each indentation indicating which food belongs in it:

• H (Honeydew): For natural nectar and essential amino acids.
• S (Sugar water): For the rapid energy supply of active worker ants.
• F (Fruit flies / Proteins): For the proteins the queen and larvae need.

Thanks to its thoughtful size of 5 by 2 cm, this luxurious plateau fits into almost any arena and outworld from our assortment (note: does not fit in the small feeding dish). Is the meal finished? You can easily remove the plastic plateau to rinse it under the tap and reuse it.
