Hello Daren and welcome to the forum. :)

You could also feed them fruits, they like that to, and some insects. But most of all off course leafs. ;) The one you are talking about should do the trick.

:wink: :) thanks have tried cauliflower and they are cutting it up as i type. Also do you know if these ants can regurgitate food to each other like other ants as i have never seen them do this?
