Product Description

Based on a product developed by NASA who wanted to see how Ants would cope in micro-gravity; Antworks is an elegantly curved clear plastic tank containing cool blue gel. The gel provides nutrients and water for the Ants as well as being a tunneling medium. The result is a stylish desk-top conversation piece and a fascinating project for the young and curious. Magnifying glasses for closer inspection are provided although you will have to collect your own Ants!

This review is from: Antworks (Toy)

After reading some other reviews on ant farms it made me think and reflect on how I perceive such 'toys'. I am keen to encourage my little one in his great interest in bugs and wildlife and was contemplating something like this. I didn't stop to think how life might be for the poor creatures in it! Which amazes me as I am against caged animals of all kinds (except in animal welfare centres such as those used for caring for injured animals or breeding endangered animals in a way that respects their natural habitat and instincts). I know I am in the minority when it comes to caged animals as so many people have caged pets of some kind (birds, hamsters, rabbits) but to me it seems like giving them a life long prison sentence keeping them locked up in a confined space. I have to confess I know too little about the normal behaviours and requirements of creatures like fish and stick insects to fairly comment on keeping them. However, to me, having now thought about it, ant farms of this genre are a gimick as they do not teach children the true nature of the animals they're seeing because the environment and situation is too artificial. For example the ants do not need to go and forage as they would in real life. They have food on tap and that is not a healthy environment as they are left with nothing to do and surplus food so how can they possibly replicate normal behaviour. And as someone else mentioned there is no queen which is again unnatural and means they all die off quickly. This means that there is minimal educational value and it's really just a display case to see what ants do in an unnatural environment. In addition to that it doesn't teach children to respect the animals around them and their environment. I have already purchased a bug box with net and magnifying glass and I will be sticking with that. I will instead teach my little boy to observe creatures within their own environment and he can use the magnifying glass and/or bug box to observe creatures more closely then release them to observe their behaviour in their natural habitat (the bug box is useful for quick moving creatures such as grasshoppers, house spiders, etc.). And for the record I'm not some bigtime animal lover, just someone who respects life in all it's forms!
