Hi! Im looking for a good setup for a foundling lasius niger colony i will receive soon, does anyone have any reccomendations? I will be moving them into a tank once they are a bit bigger but for now I need a small setup for them.
Ant colonies I own:
Lasius Niger colony x2

I would recommend a Tar Heal Ants Mini Hearth: https://tarheelants.com/collections/type-iii-formicaria/products/mini-hearth
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.
