My ant colony

My colony of Camponotus pennsylvanicus ants are doing well. However I had to change there mane test-tube due to a mold outbreak in the water. I moved them into a new test tube but 2 out of the 5 workers escaped. The queen and the remaining workers along with a single pupae have not moved into there new test-tube, they are currently in an AC test-tube portal. What do I do?

Since she already moved i think she will be fine....you just need to feed them right and treat them right...i know it's hard to lose a lot of worker,i have experienced that myself but.

i think if the queen still survive..they will be fine,and you do know what kind of food that they eat right?
