Springtail Culture

We are now selling bioactive clean up crews, this culture of springtails are very small and hard to catch making them a great cleaner crew for larger amphibians and reptiles. They can also be fed to very small amphibians and invertebrates in place of flies but will be a bit of a smaller meal.

This product will be delivered in a plastic container. The bottom of the tub is covered in nutrient rich soil based substrate. The sides of the plastic tub are perforated to provide maximum ventilation with minimum risk of escape. The colony will usually start to hatch in transit and should be fully populated within a week.

If you want to keep the springtails as nutritious as possible we would recommend you continue to feed them on aspecialist springtail diet.
