: : Our two igs love to lay right on top of the ant hills.Now we quickly remove them and sure as not,,,they crawl back over them and lay back down on the mounds.They tend to lay their tummys nearer their vents right on the mound.We have seen these mounds move after a few days of this happening.
: : Has anyone else had this happen with their igs?
: : I swear our kids must like the feel of the ants on their tummys and vents.We don't see them swarming on the kids either,,maybe a couple here and there but not swarm.Leave it to our two to be weird.

: I think scientists suspect ants have some kind of chemicals on their skin that is beneficial to birds..maybe igs, too?
