ants not moving?

[KorSolidarity]

hi i bought an omni nest from here and have some local ants (camponotus atrox), as seen in the picture.
have about 150 workers.



I connected a tube in order to get them to move, for about 30 hours now, with no sign of them trying to move out...
at first i thought of taking out a whole tube where the nest is into the omni-nest outworld, but then i thought it'll be better to ask first.

question: would they move like that? ...or is current nest just too good for them to move out. if so, any advice on making them to move out?

Is the omni nest properly hydrated? Is the tubing large enough for the ants to pass?

Patience. They will move out when they're ready - which can take some time.
Don't force them, you'd do more harm then good. Maybe the colony just isn't large enough yet.

hydration : well i added water in both hydration chamber. one side put too much had to suck some out with cotton. maybe this could be a problem - dont really know how much i need to hydrate.
tube was ok, saw elites passing through.
guess i'll wait and see for few more days and then give up on moving for awhile.
