So no need for any more than a few millimetres deep. Don’t wet it either….it will clump and they’ll want to dig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Keep a water source available to them, such as a water tower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- What about tucker? We need to eat too! Well, most of the ants we sell, and you find in Australia, have a sweet tooth…. Sweet mandible? So give them access to a sweet food source. We sell quantities of sweet energy sources for them, labelled “Ant Tucker” and a variety of other brands. We don’t recommend honey mixed with water, as it can trap our little mates and lead to a sad afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hailes Aquariums and Antfarms","offers":[{"title":"Queen with 3 to 4 workers","offer_id":12775528300567,"sku":"","price":74.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Queen with 5 to 6 workers","offer_id":12775528333335,"sku":"20","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Queen with 7 to 9 workers","offer_id":53069787988128,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Queens just caught December 2025 with Brood we recommend with workers.","offer_id":43289352470688,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bulk Supply re-sellers pack Dec 2025 queens (10 pack).","offer_id":41539860005024,"sku":"2","price":550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2226\/8827\/products\/IMG_1920_066f048f-ea1c-4c8e-b3f6-7c93934d5dc9.JPG?v=1579329189"},{"product_id":"copy-of-ant-queen-meatant-iridomyrmex-purpureus-1-4-workers-sold-out","title":"Ant Queen  Nontoncus sp","description":"\u003cp\u003eQueens just caught. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote these Queens are semi Clausal which means they need to leave the test tube to feed, they will eat sugars but when the larvae start to develop protein has to be provided to assist in larvae development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Ants are seen both daytime and night time, their larvae are similar to Myrmecia and can feed themselves either via the workers and Queen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease select express post with signature at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hailes Aquariums and Antfarms","offers":[{"title":"Queen with 4 to 10 worker and eggs and larvae","offer_id":12779664015383,"sku":"1","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Queen just caught with small eggs","offer_id":12779654152215,"sku":"0","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2226\/8827\/products\/tWMpoRJhTM2IJ_Mc_0MXNw.jpg?v=1599028629"},{"product_id":"ant-queen-aphaenogaster-longiceps","title":"Ant Queen Aphaenogaster longiceps Funnel Ant","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2226\/8827\/files\/7FEEEDB2-A1E0-45E1-9BDE-56800DFFADC4_1_201_a_480x480.jpg?v=1615445069\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2226\/8827\/files\/7FEEEDB2-A1E0-45E1-9BDE-56800DFFADC4_1_201_a_480x480.jpg?v=1615445069\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLive Ant Sales Guaranteed Live delivery (WA and Tasmania you will need and import licence from your local Authority).
