Ants Hibernating Near Mold

Hi all,

My colony has become rather dormant, so I believe that they are hibernating. Unfortunately, their test tube set up has become very moldy but they don't seem to have any interest in moving. I have their test tube connected to a small outworld and another test tube with water and clean cotton ball, but they haven't moved yet. I see people say a lot "trust the Queen, she knows when to move." Does that apply here? Or should I do something more?

You should try to make the queen move with the heat of a heater of a source of light because the test tube is too dirty for the ants to live in. Sometimes you cannot always trust the queen to move when she wants to.

Hello, ants behave very interestingly and yes, the mother of ants loves warmth. That's what they wrote on one of the sites.
By the way, I found an interesting website, where you quickly register, and a user-friendly interface. But the most important thing is instant payments. I managed to make money.
