Owning an ant farm is a fascinating hobby and it’s particularly good for kids. It’s educational and fun too, and because it’s fun, the things that kids learn tend to stick. Many people have developed a lifelong interest in the natural world through owning a live animal as a child. So what could be better than an ant farm? They are clean, quiet and don’t need to be taken for walks when it’s raining! Because ants are social insects, they display a whole range of co-operative behaviours that we can learn a lot from.
Anybody with some experience on the subject?

Searchable message boards: that's ANTicipation about an advANTage to us all. So don't be too disenchANTed Sindy, board hijacking is fairly constANT and persistANT, but the remnANT of the original thread is there somewhere :D

is Bobo an ant?
Ant farms are pretty fascinating ... for one day, maybe. I would probably prefer to visit someone who has one and oooh and aaah, than have one myself.
