If you have a gel ant farm, you do not need any dirt or food. The gel serves as both dirt and food for the ants. According to the Uncle Milton site: If you do not have a gel farm, Once a week, remove the top cap and drop in two or three pinhead size pieces of food. You will also need to give the ants a few drops of water every 2 days. Just open the top cap and drop the water in. Please do not overfeed or over water your ants!
