Orange Ant Jelly — carbohydrate feeding cup for ants
Orange jelly brings a bright, zesty note that most colonies warm to straight away, while still handling the plain job of supplying everyday carbohydrate. The ~16 g cup holds soft, sugar-based jelly with added flavour, vitamins and humectants, and it takes the place of honey and sugar water without the smears, the puddles or the drowned workers. Originally produced as premium beetle jelly, it is fully ant-safe. Made in Europe, shipped sealed from Poland with tracked EU, UK and worldwide delivery.

Why jelly beats honey and sugar water
Feeding liquid sugar creates a mess and costs you workers: honey traps them, an open sugar-water dish drowns them. A jelly cup supplies the same carbohydrate in a solid form the colony can gather around safely. Nothing spills when the arena moves, and a glance shows you when it needs changing.
Who it’s for
A bright citrus flavour most colonies take readily, orange is a good way to widen a colony’s palate beyond the usual sweet fruits. It fits nearly every kept species — Camponotus, Lasius, Formica, Pheidole, tropical ants — and harvester ants like Messor take it for extra carbohydrate alongside their seeds. Rotate it through with other flavours to keep things varied.
How to feed it
Peel the foil and set the cup in the outworld or on a feeding dish. Replace it every 3-5 days, sooner once the surface dries and hardens, and remove leftovers to keep mould and mites away. Put out several cups for a larger colony. Keep spares sealed at room temperature, and refrigerate once opened, using within a month.
A balanced diet, not carbohydrate alone
Jelly fuels adult workers and foraging but does not raise brood. Larvae need protein, so pair the cup with insect prey or a protein paste.
Pairs well with
Serve it on one of our drinking bowls or plates for a clean lift-out. Add Blanched Whole Crickets or Cricket Jam for protein and keep a water dish nearby for a complete feeding station.
FAQ
Will my ants go for a citrus flavour?
Most colonies take fruity and citrus jellies readily. If you want to be safe, rotate it with other flavours or start with the mixed selection.
How often should I feed jelly?
A fresh cup every 3-5 days. It lasts about 4-7 days in the arena, so change it once the surface dries or hardens.
How do I store it?
Sealed cups keep for months at room temperature. Once opened, refrigerate and use within a month.
Is it really beetle jelly?
It was first made as premium beetle jelly. The composition is fully ant-safe and works just like a dedicated ant jelly.
Will harvester ants like Messor eat it?
Yes. Messor and other granivores take jelly for extra carbohydrate alongside their seeds, and almost every kept species accepts it too.
Do I still need to feed protein?
Yes. Jelly is carbohydrate only. Offer insects or a protein paste for healthy brood.
Do you ship outside the EU?
Yes. Out of Poland within 24 hours, tracked EU, UK and worldwide.
