I made an ytong nest, with a glass panel and sealed with a silicone hot glue gun. It has an hydration chamber with a floral foam sponge and connected to a normal tupper. What do you think? Is it too big? Will Dorymyrmex chew the silicone?

FIrst thing is the colony an aprropriate size? If they are they should not be able to chew through it but keep an eye on it just in case.
