Seed mix for Harvester Ants -> Special Grass & Bird Seed Mix

Special Seed Mix – The ultimate nutrition for your harvester ants

Seed-collecting ant species, such as the popular Harvester Ant (Messor barbarus and other Messor and Pheidole species), have a unique diet. Instead of primarily living on insects and sugars, these ants collect seeds to store in the nest. They chew the seeds finely, mix them with their saliva, and thus create nutritious 'ant bread'. This **specially formulated seed mix** offers the perfect variety and balance your colony needs to grow healthily.

Rich variety of over 50 types of seeds

Variety in the diet stimulates the ants' natural foraging behavior. Our mix consists of a careful selection of over 50 different types of fine grass seeds and bird seeds. Because it contains both very small and slightly larger seeds, both the smaller workers (minors) and the large jaws of the soldiers (majors) can immediately get to work filling the storerooms.

From our own breeding experience: Tested on millions of ants!

This mix is not just any birdseed or grass seed mix from the store. We have composed this combination ourselves and have been using exactly this mix for years for all our own breeding colonies — from tiny colonies with a few dozen workers to gigantic supercolonies of over 10,000 ants. So we know from our own experience with millions of ants: **this is the nutrition that works!**
