DIY Flea Circus

Create your own flea circus! Gather small pieces of brass from pots, coat hangers and watches, and solder the pieces together to make chariots for the fleas to pull or platforms for the fleas to use for various circus events, such as the tightrope, tug of war or duel. Cut a piece of fine gold wire, tie a loop in the center of the wire, place the loop over a flea’s head and tighten the wire to fit your flea as a collar. Twist the ends of the wire together to form a leash. Locate human fleas (not pet fleas) and train each of your fleas to perform an event in your circus.
