But it's far cleaner and just a touch more straightforward to perform the same feat with Ants. They're smaller for a start. Don't need mucking out. And make their own fun, so you won't need a wheel.

Enter the truly space-age Ant Habitat Illuminator, a beautifully backlit device designed specifically to give you a window on their world when all around you is dark. Picture the scene. It's late. Match of the Day has come to an end. And it's just you, your little lady and a beautiful gel-filled box of ants going about their everyday business. Magic. In fact, who needs Springwatch in the, err, Spring, when you can have Antwatch in your house 365 days of the year?
