AntWorks - Space Age Ant Habitat

Learning, Toys No Comments »

Ants are fascinating creatures to watch. Then imagine watching them in a “space age” habitat. It is ten times more fascinating! Check out AntWorks!

AntWorks is based on a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study animal life in space and test how ants successfully tunnel in microgravity. The AntWorks Gel (Non Toxic) is complete with nutrients to promote healthy growth in the new colony. Watch ants live, work and tunnel in the nutritious and non-toxic gel as they create series upon series of intricate tunnels. The included LED illuminator acts as your Antworks base and when plugged in will shine four bright LEDs up through the gel. It is easy to care for - ants need NO food or water. The case is 6.5″x 5.5″x 1.25″. Choose between red or blue color gels.
