    Question Springtails??

    I am setting up a rack system for my growing collection of Pacman frogs. I am reading about the little garbage cleaners (springtails). I know people keep them in their terrariums, but what about in the tubs? Just wondering if they would be worth investing in?

    Yep, we keep them, lots of them, but not for pacs. Nothing can survive in the amount of waste they produce and nothing can really clean it up either. So to get springs for pacs is a waste of $
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Springtails are awesome for smaller frogs and some other critters I keep. Waste of time for Pacs though

    Default Springtails??

    However, springtails are great for dart frog vivariums .
