some fellows love to raise dogs, cats as pets as they know human being a lot; some fellows like to keep parrot as they can talk to them; some might like to have the cricket as they can play with them.
Nowadays my friends like to keep the ants as pets no matter at home or in office. There is ant studio Eco-toy products on market, Ant Studio Eco-toy product is to create sophiticated chic style transparent container to hold the ants, using a high-tech materials simulation ants in the soil enviroment, players can clearly see from any angels exchange ants, digging tunnels, etc, every area of life. The most convenient thing is we did not need to raise the ants under such kind of situation.
What pets are you keeping with? Will you choose the ants as your pets? It will be great funny to see the ant for their hard working life.

No.Just for the simple reason of reading this joke.
An inmate in jail trained a fly to sing and dance for fifteen years.As he was released he went to a bar first, sat down on a bar stool and took out the fly and made it sit on the counter.He called the bartender and asked him to take a look at the fly to astonish him.
The bartender said "Sorry" , swat the fly immediately and asked "What would you like to have Sir"?

Hello Sasalove,
I never know ants can be kept as pet. I will only know I kill lot of ants at home, LOL. I just hate ants, I wouldn't choose ants as my pets.
Right now I don't keep any pets. I think if I would want to get a pet, I choose gold fish. I never keep fish before. I think gold fish is a good choice!

I also surprised while I start to know the fashioned pets, if the ants did not trained, supposed when they suck you, you may be mad or even want to kill them, lol. But these kinds of ants are well educated and kept in a simulated container, they will not bite you and do not have the chance to do. I enjoy watching them to work hardly to remind myself that I should follow.
Keeping the gold fish is a good way, and I have ever did, but later I seldom raise it as the gold fish is easy to die and I am sad once they passed. And I would not like to be depressed frequently.

I think that having an ant farm would be extremely fascinating however, I have a cat who likes to knock things off my shelves no matter how high they are. So, for me, this would not be a good idea.
I would love to see somebody's ant farm if they had one though.

I love pets but I never think of keeping ants as one. It sound like fun and I think it's easier to maintain too. I saw a transparent tank full of ants once and I think it's pretty cool. We can see the underground colony. It sound amazing. But I can't pet an ant. I might squash it or it might bite me. That's not good. I love to play and pet my pets. I guess I'll stick with cats.

I supposed you have a misunderstanding there, we did not keep the ants freely as the ants were kept in the container that they can not go to the lawn as the normal ones and we simulate the soil enviroment for them that they don't need to live the soil enviroment. No dirty, no biting, only the funny left. LOL

No. I find ants a pest. I find it hard to rear ants too as it requires quite a huge space and it might be very messy.

Hehe, the ants are kept in the transparent container that it would not mess up your surrounding and that is why the ants becomes the favorite pets here. Also the container will not take up too much space and only occupy one conner of your desk and then you can see it daily working.
