No Other Workers

I recently moved my AntsCanada small ant tower upstairs in my house. I only see 4 workers above ground and I have never seen more or less. Has mt ant colony been buried alive???

Feed them a bug and see if more workers come out, Or see where they drag it.

No, It's not that I don't know where the ant hole is, it's that I don't know if the queen is alive because I believe the sand has not been wet enough so the and could have collapsed on the queen.

hmm, you could try get them to move back into the test tube if you are super worried but i say just leave them for now. A thing you should do is plug a test tube into one of the things for vinyl tubing. This way if the ground does get dry they have somewhere to store the most important members of the colony.

Putting a test tube in and drying out the formicarium would be a good idea.
