Caring for Liometopum occidentale

[Alacom]

Hello, I'm a first-time ant keeper. 2 weeks ago I caught 3 Liometopum occidentale queens that have all laid eggs. After finding out their species in the And ID forums, I started researching them and found little information on caring for them besides that they're a hard-to-keep species. If anyone has useful tips, please share your knowledge because it would be very helpful.

well i have read a journal about these cool ants and i know that they first get about 50-100 workers in the first brood pile. Next you have to feed them a lot and give them a good home so the queen can lay more eggs because the new workers should die off pretty quickly and you will need more. again the colony will get 100 or so more workers. if the colony survives they can get majors and grow huge!!!!

but so far i have only heard about one person doing that.

good luck
