Army Ants?

[New2Ants]

Hey guys, is there anyone on this forum that keeps any species of army ants? I just think that it would be interesting for someone to try to keep this species of ant they're just so cool and are very unique in their living styles.

Isn't that impossible because they move every two weeks ?

Mabey? I what about a large tube that connects to another big out world that they can move into every two weeks?

Army ants... in the UK? Is he a biologist or just an ant keeper?

Well now I think about it there is another type of army ant,
Pheidologeton diversus the Southeast Asian army ant, that can be held they don't move. But I don't think their the same like the more known species from South-America.

It is nearly impossible to keep colonies of army ants but I suppose it is possible with some species. I know the local Neivamyrmex only feed on ant brood so it would be a pretty costly operation to keep a whole colony considering how much they eat.

I keep pheidologeton diversus if that counts
