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?

Where did Bobo originate from? Is he any relation to Koko?

hmm thats a really good question Mama.

I'm trying to think...I believe Al Z might have brought him into sleuth in the first place.

This is why we should have searchable message boards :)

Seachable message boards would make life *much* easier. :)
