Messors love teff .
I offer teff and they are out carring it away in minutes. They don't seem to like grass seed.

It's good you've found a food your ants truly enjoy.

Try out as many different seeds as you can find. My Messor like poppy seeds, grass seeds, Seaseme seeds and a whole bunch more that I give them. I never heard of teff, but I’ll see if I can find some of those to give to them as well.

Mine love canary seeds but don't seem to find grass seeds as enjoyable. They still eat them though.
Keeping the following colonies:
- [2x] Camponotus Barbaricus
- [2x] Lasius Flavus
Re: Messors love teff .
I gave them poppy and seaseme seeds and they didn't go so crazy for them. I waited a few days and last night I gave them teff seeds and they went totally crazy working for hours gathering the teff. I gave them about a thimble full, it's one of the smallest seeds. Now they are drinking water after the workout.
