I was just curious if they are even culturable? I have heard they are the best source of nutrition for PDF, and was wondering if you have to just keep buying them? Thanks!

As far as I know, the only way to succesfully culture termites is to find a healthy establishment somewhere near you and collect every worker and the queen and place them in a container with plenty of decaying wood and/or damp cardboard. The places that sell termites never send out the queens for obvious reasons, so your only chance to get them going is find some on your own in your nearby woods. Good luck with that.

That should help you a bit. Talk to you later.

I just thought I would say this. I was at my lease, collecting some rocks for my new terrarium, and came acrose some terrmites in the soil. They had two tunnels in the ground but I didnt have a jar or anything to keep them in so I left them there. I was very sad after I though of it and I hope to find some again when I go back next weekend prepared.
