They don't need to be active. As long as they have access to food in an outworld (not the tube itself) using the drinking straw method, they should be alright. If you think the tube is really dirty, you can move them, but likely you have time.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
