She lost all her brood

My pogonomyrmex queen lost all her brood to mold not sure how it started but I'm going to not check up on her and just feed her. Does anyone know a way I can get her back on her feet? Any help would be great, thanks.

Keep a persistent feeding schedule, and try to give all your queens a little bit of substrate as they will cover mold with dirt/sand, leading to its slowed growth and possible death.

Ok, thanks! I moved her into a new setup so I don't have to worry about the mold.
