i have a iridomyrmex colony of a few workers, do you think i can feed it earthworms or slaters/pill bugs?

it isn't reccomended. They could be carrying diseases or more likely, pesticides that can kill your colony. Get some crickets or mealworms from the pet store .

I think many ant species are allies to earthworms (cause the earthworms seem pretty chill on AntsCanada) Try feeding them Super worms if you can find some, and since it’s a small colony, giving half or a quarter is ideal. Hope I’m right!AntNoobster wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 2:24 ami have a iridomyrmex colony of a few workers, do you think i can feed it earthworms or slaters/pill bugs?
New Iridomyrmex sp. Queen! Hopefully it survives
