so 3 days ago, i caught what i assumed was a pavement ant queen, she had no wings and i just put her in a test-tube setup. her gaster wasnt as big as i thought itd be, as i am just a beginner, thankfully she laid fertilised eggs within the first night. although, lately she seemed really tired, i dont if queens do that to save energy, but even thought she always stays with her eggs she doesnt really move, sometimes i test if shes dead so i flip over the test tube, and she would stay on her back for a couple seconds, before slowly struggling to get back up.
please tell me if theres anything wrong and other helpful tips i can use, as a first time ant keeper.

Tetramorium queen gasters don't get very big.
