thanks ant dude.  I'm guessing these are fully claustial.  Anything in particular they like to eat once they get workers?  I will be keeping them in the test tubes for a while.  I do have a THA Mini hearth (III) to move them into later - is that a good choice since they are a small species (don't want escapees) or have a better option?
