The coolest space age ant habitat that's totally self enclosed! Blue translucent gel provides tunneling environment and all ant needs. No food or water required! Fascinating fun and educational excitement!
Based on a 2003 NASA Space Shuttle experiment to study tunneling ants in zero-gravity, the ANTWORKS allows your entire family to study the behavior of ants in a unique, self-contained environment. Watch the ants close-up in this space age ant farm as they work together to dig and build their tunnels without messy feeding and watering chores normally associated with ant habitats! The translucent, non-toxic blue gel is the tunneling medium for the ants and serves as their ONLY FOOD AND WATER SOURCE, as well. The ANTWORKS gel is full of nutrients and supplements to promote healthy growth in your new ant colony. ANTWORKS can be a fascinating family pet, office curiosity, or the coolest gift for the budding naturalist! ANTWORKS is another way to bring nature safely and conveniently into your home. Watch the fascinating ants together and create a memorable family experience. Help your children develop scientific skills of observation transferable to all aspects of life. Promote curiosity and appreciation of the wonders of nature. The video below shows the basics of ANTWORKS and describes the behavior of ants as they tunnel through the nutritious gel. The actual product shown is the ANTWORKS ILLUMINATED (The same ANTWORKS illuminated with LEDs), also available at Perks Variety.

The Story of ANTWORKS
Ant Astronauts? Do you have what it takes to become an astronaut? NASA has some pretty strict requirements for its extra-terrestrial voyagers. A Space Shuttle pilot must have a science degree and over 1,000 hours of jet flying experience. Mission specialists must possess a respectable amount of scientific knowledge in their field. For other types of astronauts, NASA has a much stricter set of requirements - such as having two stomachs and six legs!
On a mission to study insect life in near-weightlessness, the space shuttle carried into orbit a special ant habitat very similar Fascinations ANTWORKS. NASA wanted to see how ants would tunnel in micro gravity, however traditional soil-based ant habitats posed a problem. The tremendous G-forces and shaking during liftoff and re-entry would collapse the tunnels (not to mention how difficult it would be to try giving ants food and water on a regular basis in a near weightless environment!).
Rather than using soil, an ant habitat was created utilizing a special gel that would not collapse during lift-off (which would crush the ants) and serve as a food and water source for these ant astronauts. your new ANTWORKS is based on technology used by NASA in the shuttle experiment.
The ANTWORKS allows you to study the behavior of ants in a unique, self- contained environment. This translucent gel not only acts as a tunneling medium for the ants, but is their food and water source as well. ANTWORKS gel is loaded with nutrients and supplements to promote healthy growth in the new colony. You will be fascinated as the ant architecture develops and may come to agree that these insects are a lot more intelligent than most people realize!
