My lasius niger queen's first workers have arrived in the test tube, and I soon have to home them to a permanent living space.
Would building something like suffice?
I have no prior experience with ant keeping, so any tutorial on how and what to build would be most welcome.

It'll last about 3 before they eat through the plastic to expand their territory. They're seriously territorial and once they get out and perceive something as their territory, they'll destroy anything that lays foot there.
So will something like that suffice? That's for you to decide.

I could do it in a glass tank too, I haven't bought any materials yet.

Glass would be better, but they'll eventually gnaw through the glass as well. It depends on how much of a cruel bitch the queen is. She tells everyone what to do in the hive, and she knows damn well how hard it is to chew through plastic or glass. Basically 40-50% of queens are sadists, if you are lucky you won't get a sadistic queen and you'll never have to worry about it at all
