Have you ever thought about buying an ant nest? Most people are more likely to do everything they can to keep ants away, while keeping ants as pets can be really fun and very educational. It is quite a good idea to buy an ant nest. It takes relatively little time and energy, while you learn from the ants and really enjoy these pets. So not a bad idea to buy an ant farm.
The most important ant is the ant queen in your own ant colony
Keeping your own ant colony is just a lot of fun. Buying an ant nest means that you will at least have access to an ant queen. It lays eggs, which develop into a larva and a pupa and eventually produce workers. These workers ensure that the colony always receives sufficient food. Buying an ant nest therefore means buying a queen with brood and a number of workers, where you can choose ten or even fifty workers. Buying ants means that you can choose from different breeds. There are breeds that are especially suitable for beginners, there are also other breeds that are more suitable for the ant expert. Most people decide to buy the Messor barbarus ant breed, while the Componotus nicobarensis is also a popular ant breed.
