Introduction

Given this is my first ingress on the blog, it’s felicitous for me to set the scene. I started ants-keeping back in June 2016 and during that time there's only a few people who actually kept ants as pets in Singapore. What actually sparked my interest towards this hobby was after watching Ants Canada's video on YouTube, the one which he featured his fire ant colony. After lots of deliberation, and some research, I thought ant-keeping might be an intriguing hobby/interest to take up. Why ant-keeping? I suppose I have always had a certain fascination for ants albeit my knowledge of them is remotely limited. They seem well organized in their miniature societies and I know I’ll learn a lot more about them as my hobby progresses. 

 

I remember a few years ago getting one of those formicarium when i was a child. It was one of those plastic gel filled ones where you're supposed to catch a few worker ants and put them inside to see how they dig their tunnels. It was fun for a while but as I recall the ants didn’t lived very long and i lost interest and so it was discarded . 

 

Hopefully i will fare a whole lot better this time round , so why not follow me on this journey. You never know you may be tempted to take up this hobby yourself. Or if you already keep ants any help you can give me will be very much appreciated.
