I found some shot glasses online that would be perfect for ants, but they’re made of polypropylene. Will they harm ants?

I found some shot glasses that would be perfect for test tube setups, but their made of polypropylene. I don’t want to risk losing my ants. Will it harm them or not?

Only if you fill them with tequila before putting ants inside will polypropylene shot glasses harm ants. PP is a thermoplastic used widely in industrial and scientific applications for its non reactivity with many harsh chemicals.

I've used it before without any negative effects.
