Ant Outworld and Arena - Medium - 2024 - Glued

This is the new, 2024 Glued Medium Outworld. This is the glued version of our popular flat-pack medium outworld.

This is the perfect area to give food and water to your colony. Our Medium Outworld is the larger version to our hugely popular Small Outworld. This Medium Outworld measures 240mm x 180mm x 120mm without the legs or connector.

You can connect this outworld directly to your ant nest, or you can connect it to our 4 Way Connectors V4 to allow for further expansion at a later date.

The outworld is made of strong 3mm clear acrylic for the sides, top, and lid, and 3mm white acrylic for the base. If you are going for a minimalistic outworld, this white base allows for a great view of your colony.

If you want to add any substrate to this outworld, it has to be bone-dry. The first reason for this is because the outworld isn't glued and damp substrate can cause warping of the acrylic. The second reason is that any damp substrate will encourage a colony to nest in the outworld instead of the nest. 

The lid features air vents to allow for air circulation, and also a handle for easy removal. The lid sits snugly on the screws holding the 'top' of the outworld on, and this 'top' piece provides an excellent place to put your escape fluid on.  We recommend using something like PTFE fluid on the underside of the 'top' piece.

Any moisture in the outworld can cause acrylic to warp, so to counter this, we also supply some grommets to allow the lid to be screwed down. If you encounter any slight warping of the lid, we suggest flipping it over every time you remove it for cleaning, or watering and feeding.

The outworld is supplied constructed and glued.
