I second this, they will not eat seeds 


Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers +  BIG brood pile + 10 pupa

1x Crematogaster cerasi, 2 workers + eggs / larva? (pls don't die workers) *1 is trying to die* (I SAID DON’T DIE)

1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers

 

*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*
