Manica are semi-claustral, so are Myrmica.antperson24 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 5:21 pmI don't know this for sure, but I believe they are fully claustral. That should work, chicken seems to be my ants favorite, however, I do not keep Manica.RubyAntKeeper77 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 11:52 amI did buy them online before I learned about the Gan Project , I think that they are Myrmica rubra. I also think they are old just was wondering if I made a must that killed it. I did see a single larva but no eggs.
Do you know if walking ruby ants are fully or semi claustral?
What protein should I give? Because I gave her a tiny piece of ham and she seemed to eat it.

Re: Beginning keeping colony of ruby ants.
Thanks for correcting me SYUTEO, didn't even think of Myrmica.
I would say a pretty small one, maybe 6in by 8in. Also make sure you have the teat tube in there too.Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many cool ants right were you live!
I strongly disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not in your area.

What food do I offer?
I am currently offering my ants, chicken, honey drop, and some small seeds that the ants came with.
