Ok so I have read in a few posts over the last 2 years about keeping springtails in terrariums for cleaning of subtrate, poop, and mold...
I would like opinions and information about this if possible.
I have 3 Greys.
I use Exo Terra Tropical Terrarium Substrate atm.
Want to know if springtails are a good idea? If they mass breed? where to get them? if I have to feed them anything else? if they can climb or jump out of terrarium? Do the bug frogs? Will frogs try and eat them? If frog ate them are the harmful? How big do they get? Anything else I should know or consider?
spring tail are very harm les and helpful little bugs they help keep you cage clean. and my frogs dont really waist there time trying to eat them only my darts do. and they eat waste matter and mold so no other food supplements are required. and if they get out of the enclosure they will die they like it nice and moist. and some pet stores sell them.
I was able to locate a place that can order them in which is good. $5 a culture is that good? He said I just dump them in is there anything else I should know? Do I dump the whole culture? and How big do springtails get?
yes $5 is a good price. and i like to get a couple big pinch full of the dirt that they come in and put it in the enclosure and they will breed. and they stay very small smaller then a fruit fly
Oh good small is very good... I have gotten used to crickets but I hate bugs -shivers-
