Feed ants a millipede?
hey so i want to feed my very small lasius niger colony some meat/proteins, next to the honey theyve been getting already. fruitflies arent really around yet bc it is not hot enough yet in my area. I found a millipede but i am not sure if it's suitable. Any of you guys know? I would cut it open for them ofcourse to make it a little easier. Can i give them the millipede?

Re: Feed ants a millipede?
I would say it is, just double check to see if there is any pesticides.
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?
You can email me about ants at Tucker.reynolds13@gmail.com

Depends on the species of millipede and where you found it, some millipeds are toxic and some even spray cyanide. Also make sure the area you collect them does not spray pesticides.

It depends where you caught it. If you know where you caught it does not get sprayed, then it's fine.Joshua09 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 8:18 amHow to know if there are pesticides?RubyAntKeeper77 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:45 pmI would say it is, just double check to see if there is any pesticides.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
