I have a new Camponotus Chromaiodes with 4 workers colony that is currently living in a test tube connected to an AntsCanada Test Tube Portal as a small outworld. However, the ants moved out of the brand new test tube (they had just moved) into the Test Tube Portal. How do I get them back in the test tube? I have already tried putting the test tube in darkness and shining light on the portal, but it didn’t seem to affect them.

No, the test tube is brand new, their old one was moldy so I had to move them.

Increase air flow in the outworld. I recommend an open top design with fluon.
