Thanks

[@joelongley1792]

I’m getting this nest and thank you for reviewing it!

[@antsonarock]

This is a great nest, I still use it now. Never let me down yet

[@mf_ant6642]

very nice

[@antsonarock]

It's a great kit and my Colony is doing amazing now

[@kayzenjenkins9775]

Outworld is made of ikea Godmorgon storage container :) well... adapted obviously

[@antsonarock]

Tbh, I wouldn't be able to make the adoptions. And they are so well done I view this as a best ants uk product......

[@kayzenjenkins9775]

@@antsonarock they are really nice I use them also. Not much to do than drill 2 holes and cheap as can be. Winner in my books 😁

Ants into the outworld: Where the food at bruh? 🤣

[@AntsJWS]

Hello I have a question, do you think my future acorn ant colony could fit in this out world and nest? (Temnothorax Nylanderi colony with about 25 workers and sorry for bad spelling)
Edit: by fit in the nest I mean not escape 😂

[@antsonarock]

Heya thanks for the question. Yea I would trust this nest with acorn ants, its very secure. To be certain maybe email Best Ants Uk to check as I havnt kept them in it before. But I see no reason why not, its a fully sealed unit apart from the Air holes which I believe are to small for acorns to escape from.
The best way to test for escapees I've found is a single ply of tissue paper laid over the air holes, drip water onto it, it creates a seal which air can pass though but I belive ants can't, I uavnt had any yet. Although they will chew their way through if they can but this will give you a good idea of the escape routes
I hope this helps

[@wolfe1970]

Only downside with that nest is adding water to PLA,
PLA is plant based filament and will slowly soak up the water and start to deteriorate over time,
Still, a cool little setup though

[@tobinbuttram5699]

Any idea for a solution to this? I'm new to the hobby and was thinking of starting with one of these

[@bigmanrighthere1235]

@@tobinbuttram5699 don't worry as by the time it deteriorates the colony will need a new nest anyway

[@TheFairway8]

Assuming all things being equal on average how long would this size setup be capable of housing this colony for

[@antsonarock]

My Colony is still using this same set up now. Easily over 100 workers can use this nest. Maybe upto 150. I expect I will need to upgrade in 6-8 months so loads of time with it. Hope that helps

[@TheFairway8]

@@antsonarock thanks for the reply. I kept ants as a kid back in the 70s. Looking to rekindle one of my childhood hobbies. It's amazing how it's moved on from makeshift plastic fishtanks of yesteryear. Great channel just subbed 👍

[@antsonarock]

@@TheFairway8 thank you very much that's awesome. Oh yea I expect it has changed alot since back then. Its become really popular in last few years aswell with the products now available getting better and better

[@lucaswagner9879]

[@antsonarock]

They always were in my experience this was a couple of years ago now

[@ant_keeper_richard3425]
