Anyone have good source for safe Kentucky blue grass seeds? I need a reliable supplier for my pogonomyrmex badius.

I like Botanical Interests for untreated seeds in general. I’ve never ordered Kentucky blue grass from them, but they have all kinds of seeds your ants would love. Kentucky blue is not actually native. I bet they would like native grass seeds like little bluestem grass.

Not to take a dookie on you , but I've tried Kentucky bluegrass on Pogonomyrmex badius. They loved them. Wanted them more than anything else. Sunflower, chia, corn, etc. The seed is almost the perfect size, shape and texture for ants.

I’ve never kept any seed gatherers, so I wouldn’t know. My point was that company may not sell Kentucky Bluegrass seed, but they have other grass seeds. It’s worth experimenting to see if they benefit from eating the native seeds they coevolved with.
