Where can I get the seeds for them to feed on like organic trader Joe's because they have variety of specific seeds

[Spazmops]

I've gathered all of mine from dandelions or plants near the wild P. occidentalis nests. So far my ants love them.

[jimglim1234]

Lol i was wondering if I could buy like planting seeds from lowes or home depot? Or maybe seeds from whole foods?

[jimglim1234]

I was maybe planning on ordering these seeds are non pesticide seeds?

P. occidentalis should like all of those seeds, especially chia. If you do order all of those, you can feed your colony for years to come.

I highly suggest getting dandelion seeds too. Because dandelion seeds seem to be a very widely accepted seed. My Pogonomyrmex never took any chia seeds in.

Ask a seller that you bought them from, which seeds he was feeding them and which they liked, and didn't liked.
