My ants like taking a variety of protein back to the nest but seem to like the type of food it comes from changed around each day..
Also they done seem to want much sugary stuff!!??

I don't know if I understand your first question, are you saying that they like different insects/protein each day? If so, in the wild there are lots of different insects and they don't eat the same ones every day. So in captivity if you feed them the same insect every day, they sorta get bored of it, so maybe for 3 days of the week you feed them crickets then after that you feed the meal worm and so on.
For you second question, just keep some sugary stuff e.g sugar water readily available and they will have some when they need it.

Some of my ants will only eat sugary foods and others will only eat insects. Best to just try as wide a variety as possible
