What seeds do you guys feed your Pogonomyrmex?

i don't have Pogonomyrmex, but feed them grass seeds and sunflower seeds without their shells.

Sounds good. Thanks

In the order that my P. Californicus prefer. All organic, non-salt, no additives, no shell:

 

1) Poppy seed (Sprouts spices section)

2) Kentucky Blue Grass (Online)

3) Sunflower seed (Sprouts bulk bin section)

4) Hemp Seed (Sprouts health/vitamin section)

I second this. I don't have direct access to all of these seeds, so I just feed them grass seeds and sunflowers, however this much variety would be very beneficial to the colony's health.

Chia seeds.... nothing else to say. chia forever and no other seed compares to how much they like them.

I'm going to try it this weekend! Haven't given them that before. Have you by any chance also tried sesame seeds as well?
