Ant diet
Can i have some tips on feeding lasius and the Tetramorium species? Do Lasius ants prefer meat and insects or honey and sugars. Do pavement ants eat nuts like almonds and walnuts or grass seeds?
Ant Colonies I Own :
(Prenolepis imparis)--Subzero
(Tetramorium immigrans)--The Concrete Angles
(Formica neogagates)--The Unyielding Legion

Re: Ant diet
You could just give them both any food you would normally give your other colonies, if they don't like it you can remember that.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Re: Ant diet
If you are going to give a colony some nuts, I would suggest crushing them up a bit. Don't forget about fruits and what not.

Re: Ant diet
The thing is, crush them up too much, and the colony stores them, then they mold, then you have to move the ants or well… fruits are good, that is of course your colony likes them.
