The ants seemed to make a fast and speedy recovery after the incident. I was also able to move most of the soil back into place.

Re: My ant farm fell!!!!
hey,
It really depends on the height and how much speed the setup gained. Plus what materials it's made off. Usually ant tunnels are pretty sturdy otherwise the ground above would cave in when something heavy would be placed above. It also depends on whether or not the soil is made out of clay or if plants have grown in it.
But in general you can only observe and if you are able to see the tunnels from the side you could see if the queen is fine, if you can see the queen's current chamber that is.

Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
