Looks very good indeed. Tough the tunnels doesn't have to be that large, some 2-5 mm is the best, depends on the colony size.

That is a good size. But i narrow the entrance from the tube a little bit so they feel saver. If you leave the entrance 16mm it is a little to big.

I let them have some soil so they can fill the entrance on their own, much more natural.
