Anthouse Jelly Cups Review

In short

Anthouse jelly cups are a convenient, high-protein ant food sold in six varieties, with 16 g of jelly that also contains sugars, carbohydrates and water. I recommend them: they last weeks without mold and months refrigerated, but they should be part of a varied diet, not the only food.

Hi guys! I hope you’re doing well!

Today I’m going to do a quick review of these really cool jelly cups made by the company Anthouse! You can find them here!

Let’s see if they’re any good!

What is a Jelly Cup?

These particular types of jelly cups are among the best sources of nutrients for ants and are used by ant keepers all over the world.

The soft jelly substance inside the cups contains all the nutrients the ants need to survive, all packed together in one food! The gel includes proteins, sugars, carbohydrates, and even some water!

These cups are an extremely easy and effective way to feed your ants. You just have to remove the protective film, take out a small dose of jelly with a little spoon, and place it in the feeding dish you usually use for your ants.

That’s it! The job is done! You don’t have to order a box filled with insects or wander around in the backyard in search of a fresh meal for your ants! They are extremely convenient!

How Long Do They Last?

This type of product is very useful if you are planning to go on vacation and need to leave your ants alone for some time. This food can last several weeks, even in hot climates, without the risk of creating mold outbreaks.

These cups are easily stored in the refrigerator. If kept sealed and refrigerated, the jelly cups can last for several months, and in some cases, up to a full year!

If you have a small colony and don’t need to use all the substance in the cup, you can store the remaining portion in the refrigerator inside a sealed container. By doing so, the gel will last for several weeks.

If you aren’t planning to use the cups anytime soon, you also have the option of freezing them. By doing so, the jelly will last indefinitely!

The Anthouse Jelly Cups

Now let’s talk about this product in particular, the one sold by the Anthouse online shop.

In the shop, you can order the jelly in 6 different varieties: strawberry, banana, honey, milk, calcium, and sugar. The cup contains 16g of jelly food, enough to last for several weeks with a medium-sized colony.

These cups, in particular, contain a very high percentage of protein, perfect for boosting and speeding up the development of the brood. You can alternate between meals of insects and these jelly cups, providing the ants with an alternative source of protein.

Nevertheless, they can undoubtedly hold a good spot in the diet of your colonies!
