Ask people what pet they would like to have and you rarely hear people come up with the ant. Yet the group of people who keep ants is growing. More and more people have an ant outdoor enclosure and are starting their own ant colony. Quite logical in itself. Keeping ants takes little time and everyone can learn from the small hard-working animals.
The most important ant is and remains the queen ant
Although an outdoor ant enclosure is very nice, especially for the ants themselves, it is the most important thing when you want to start your own ant colony. That is and remains primarily the queen ant. She lays eggs from which workers are eventually born. These workers also ensure that the colony always has sufficient food in the ant outdoor enclosure. The workers are busy all day long. You don't really have to keep them busy, as is the case with a dog, for example.
