Take a tupper ware container with rounded edges and apply dry baby powder. Use the drinking straw method to act as a tunnel, and then set the test tube in the outworld.

Exactly what Idaho just said. I have a make shift clostrual area for one queen as I lost a test tube. She took to it well and did not hesitate to dig. It's a simple set up with small holes drilled into the top and bigger holes on either side with rubber tubing inserted and they are blocked off with cotton for now. I recommend doing exactly that before you house Ur ants as it lets you expand in the future with out having to try pull off a full relocation.

I also have a smaller in height but wider and deeper clear plastic lunch box style tub that I use to house my superworms also with holes drilled into the top. I will try to remember to take a pic of it when I am home when I am picking out the biggest worms to allow them to change to adult beetles. Oh yeah bread Ur superworms (mario beetels) so an unlimited food sourse. Worms and beetles can be kept in make shift homes so go all out.

All you really need to make sure u have is a drill with multiple sized drill bits for different holes like tube connections and air holes. For me this is one of the best reason to keep any form on insects because you can build for them
