I never seem to have problems with locusts killing ants, they seem to just brush them off the way it would normaly clean it's self. It's the hind legs worry about, they can use them to crush just about any insect predator as long as it's smaller, and, of course, jump away with lots of ants still attached to it :? .

i dont like to kill insects... but i got to do because ants are hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah has been pretty expensive, bought them all over the net. Will def be more careful with the food i put in. The mealworms are safer but seem to dry out and be discarded very quickly by the ants...

Hmmm, I`ve been looking at the fruit fly cultures but they are apparently very smelly. Are there any other alturnatives out there?

Pin head crickets maybe :-k

long as you keep the lid on, u shuldnt have a problem with smell, i have a wingless fruit fly culture, smells when u open it, but otherwise it doesnt get into the room :)

In deed, i buy them sometimes to. Never been really bothered by the smell. And they are easy to feed, they don't harm the ants. ;)

any more pics ? be great if there were :0

and when your colony swarms new queens and males, will you be seeling any queens ?

Ashton McStansfieldio: (3. Dez 2007 17:57)

Heh, I have no experiance of breeding ants and expect it is very difficult, but I did buy the second colony in the hope of experimenting to produce some fertile queens. If I ever do manage this they will def. be up for trade or sale
