Here's the video!
A few things to note:
1. In one clip you can see a penny up by where the outworld goes. I did that for size comparison. I don't think people really realize how itsy bitsy it's gonna be when they order it, and honestly neither did I, but I love it to bits I love small things they're really cute and it still looks like a ton of usable space for my ants.
2. I blocked off the first chamber because I'm going to try to get my ants to move out of their moldy test tube. Now the whole issue with moving them into a formicarium too early is it's big and overwhelming and ants can get lost or whatever.
But, instead of moving them [they have 8 workers and a bunch of pupae that look ready to eclose] to a new test tube, then moving them again later, I thought it would be easier for these ridiculously stubborn ants of mine to simply have a makeshift test tube chamber set up and then grow into the rest of the nest. Since they apparently absolutely hate moving.
3. There are a couple cracks in the bottom of the outworld but it's not a huge deal, I wouldn't ask for a replacement over something like that.
4. 10/10 would recommend, especially for beginning ant keepers. It makes everything much easier, there's less to worry about as opposed to trying to make your first formicarium, you know your ants will be in a well-tested environment, and it's clear, high quality acrylic. I can see everything!
Which is good because I'm absolutely obsessed with filming my ants doing whatever it is they're doing ;u;
