I currently have a Hypoponera queen with eggs in a small Petri dish setup, which has a layer of soil in it. I was wondering if I could move the queen to a test tube with a THA Genesis insert for better view of her and her brood, since the Petri dish keeps having its soil dug up by her. Would she be ok in that kind of setup? Feeding her wouldn't be an issue, as I usually substitute springtails with fruit flies. She's also pretty chill, so moving her would be fairly easy as well.
