I love ant farms. I tried twice to get one working, but the colony never lasted long in either attempt. Did you ever have one? Or do you even like them, because sure do.

I've never had one, but I do like to watch ants. :)

They were an obsession when I was younger. It started with the standard thin single colony model. It turned into a third of my room. 8O It ended when a tube got disconnected and my colonies infested the whole house, lmao. I am no longer allowed to have tiny animals like that in a house that I share with my father. I still miss my ants, though. I could spend hours watching them.

I saw them only in American movies which present ants as popular pets to keep, we don't have anything like that here where I live - I saw them on the net but never in real life (for example in a pet store), it's something exotic to me.

I have never had an ant farm but one of my cousins did and it was great. They're fascinating to watch.

I didn't have any ant farms growing up. My mum wouldn't let me have one. My classmates had them and they were fun to watch.

I had one when I was little but they didn't last long. They were hard to keep alive for some reason. I would of much rathered have this ant farm :arrow:
