Aus Ants specially built, handmade, crystal clear acrylic Outworlds! Guaranteed to be 100% escape proof! What is an Outworld? An Outworld is the designated space for an ant colony to forage for food, and dispose of their garbage. An essential component for the successful keeping of ants!

 

HOW THEY DO IT?

They start out with a flat, clear sheet of cast acrylic, then using a high powered CO2 laser cutter,they cut out all the required components. These components are then assembled, locking together like a jigsaw, and with the application of some super durable glue, are permanently bound together. Resulting in an extremely secure and sturdy construction. Finally, all the sharp edges are rounded to ensure a safe, smooth finish.


Their specially designed 3D printed entrance ports are then bolted onto the base. Allowing the ants to enter the outworld from below, as they would in nature! The entrance ports are designed to firmly holster their standard sized vinyl tubing connectors (10mm internal 13mm external), and are matched to the same height as their Ytong and Acrylic Nests, making connecting the two together a breeze.

 

Finally, an adjustable sliding lid is fixed on top of the outworlds. The sliding lid is designed to compensate for the materials natural, and inevitable tendency, to cup over time due to moisture or temperature fluctuations - which would have previously allowed ants to escape, but not any more! The lid also features hundreds of tiny breathing holes, providing the ants with ample ventilation, whilst remaining 100% escape proof. The lid can be loosened or tightened by adjusting the screws with an allen key (which comes included with each outworld).


This sliding lid is bordered by a fixed panel. We advise applying a slippery barrier (like fluon/PTFE, vegetable oil or Vaseline) on its underside. This will prevent the opportunity for ants to escape upon the opening of the lid.

Theseoutworlds come in 3 different sizes, small, medium, and large. All of which are designed to match their corresponding Ytong and Acrylic nest sizes. Although, typically when it comes to outworlds, the more space you provide ants to forage in, the better!


WHY PICKAUS ANTS OUTWORLDS?

Theiroutworlds are designed to offer ant keepers a crystal-clear view of their ants within. Because the acrylic slides they use are completely flat, instead of curved, theres little to no visual distortion when observing all the action within!


All Aus Antsoutworlds are designed and hand finished with precision and are vigorously inspected for defects.They pride themselves in offering a product which is not only extremely effective for the keeping of ants, but is also highly practical and aesthetically pleasing!


Speaking of aesthetics, to make these outworlds look even better, we recommend decorating them with some sand or soil, rocks, sticks, and even some live plants, converting your outworld into a terrarium! You're only limited by your imagination!

 

If you want to do a re-scape or clean the outworld later on, it can easily be detached, washed under warm water, and reused. Aus Ants Outworlds are built to last!
