Uncle Milton Ant Farm ? This Formicarium is Fast Becoming the Latest Executive Desktop Toy

I had no idea that keeping and watching ants could be so interesting, not to mention the therapeutic effects that go hand in hand with owning and watching an ant farm. Something I had not thought of until I was told they still existed and were great in the office or desk at home as the new executive toy. I think the hardest challenge I had once I decided to get one was the choice involved. Uncle Milton ant farms tend to be the manufacturer of choice, but even then there is still a selection.

The environment they are going to be kept in plays a big hand in making a decision and of course the personal preference aspect so to recommend a specific type would be a little unfair, but for me it has to be the Uncle Milton giant ant farm every time.

I like the fact that it is simple and yet big enough to house plenty of ants in a specially formulated soil. Watching the ants go about their day to day activities of digging, building and moving masses of soil from one place to another for whatever reason.

Did you know that an ant farm is in fact called a formicarium and was initially created and sold back in 1929. Uncle Milton ant farms did not come along until 1956, but get this, since then they have sold in excess of 20 million formicarium (ant farm)in one form or another.

Forget Newton’s cradle using inertia to entertain you as well as any other form of desktop executive entertainment or toy, this is the real deal. It is almost as if the ants know when you are watching and do their best to amuse or entertain you.

Without a doubt a serious form of entertainment as livestock is involved and although the ants are easy to keep and feed there is still obligation to look after them in the best way possible.

Placing an ant farm or formicarium in the home is also a really great idea, certainly gets center of attention as the conversation topic when friends and neighbours drop round, I would almost go as far as to say they hold more interest for the children than the TV, but not quite, but certainly a close second.

One of the fascinating things is that they take away the pretty much one dimensional aspect that we normally associate with ants and their nests etc. A formicarium opens that world right up and allows us to fully observe close hand the activities and formulation that goes into creating their natural environment.

Having established that the Uncle Milton ant farm is probably the best manufacturer for taking further steps with this amazing hobby and expressing my own preference in which style to take it further you would certainly want to locate and investigate further all the implications and exactly what is involved in ant farming.
