This is the new, 2024 Flat Pack Small Outworld.
This is supplied with detailed instructions and can be assembled in 30 minutes. All screws are screwed into solid metal inserts, so you're not screwing into plastic. This can be constructed without any gaps, and the bottom and side braces provide additional security and structural support. This has been tested with Lasius Niger without issue. If you are going to be using this outworld with a tiny species or any small particle substrate, you can also purchase the constructed and glued version of this outworld.
This is the perfect area to give food and water to your colony. Don't be fooled by the word 'small' in this instance, this is a very spacious outworld for your ant colony. It measures 140mm x 140mm 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 flat pack with detailed instructions.
Perspex
All acrylic used in this outworld is Perspex®.
