While looking for some termites to feed some of my colonies, I stumbled upon a pair of Reticulitermes flavipes under a wooden flower pot, along with some workers and soldiers of a different colony. The queens was starting to get larger, and she will most likely be laying eggs soon. I decided to keep them, just to see what raising termites is like. I put them into a setup similar to what I keep my queen ants in, just with lots of soil and a small rock. I also soaked the soil quite a bit, as termites seem to like very moist soil. I plan on using this as a feeder colony once it get a little bigger. Also, one question, do they require food during the founding process?
