I would hope they didn't mean fertilizer as they definitely don't
appreciate it, at least not in my experience. However one idea which a
friend introduced me to (Thanks Eric) is to feed them pollen. You can
purchase it at your local health shop and it is pure protein and not a
fertilizer. I've found quite good results with the Helies so far
