               An ant is a German’s best friend

BERLIN (Reuters) - German children are marching to pet shops to follow a pricey new trend for ant-breeding, German insect dealer Martin Sebesta says.
 
After the creatures were showcased as pets at a German agricultural fair last month, the self-proclaimed "ant fanatic" has had so much interest from children and students at his Berlin store that he plans to open two new shops.
 
"Children love them because they can observe a mini-world. Every member of the colony has a different job to do, some collect food, others defend the queen," said Sebesta, who sells at least two colonies per day at around 100 euros (67.1 pounds) each.
 
"They are easy to look after, eat household scraps and can live up to 30 years," said Sebesta, whose most expensive ants cost 1,400 euros per colony of up to 20 ants.
 
The biggest species he offers is from Southeast Asia and grows up to around 5 cm (two inches) while others are barely visible, said the 28-year-old, who has been selling ants on the Internet since February 2000. He said most people preferred to come to his shop to handle the ants before buying them online.
 
"It could just be a phase but I hope not," he said.

题外话。
 
晋江会不会开一个经济/财务区?就自己来说，是很喜欢这里的不少个区，但像我这样的，很抱歉，最关心的，可能是钱。不知道能否开一个这方面的区。大家会有兴趣吗?
 
若是的话，我提供一个俗气无比的名字:发财区。

前两天，去mall里逛的时候，看到卖寄居蟹做宠物，送一个小小的玻璃房子，里面铺着砂石，还有小水池，很可爱

如楼上的大人所说，寄居蟹也是可爱和少见的宠物。它们有蚂蚁那么贵吗？
 
不知道大家还见过或拥有哪些不平常的宠物？
