Unknown eggs-help

Hello everybody, got some culture with springtails and woodlice mix, and after night find some eggs, which was not here before ( some of them was on a culture) .

Hi, are you sure they are eggs and not a spherical fungi? Using a needle try to manipulate one and see what happens .

[Orlauskas]

If it will be Fungi, what should be happen in touching it with needle? Its cannot be Springtail or woodlice eggs?

UPDATE : It`s moving!!! Can it be mites?

As soon as I saw the picture I instantly thought mites. If you look closely you can see legs and if they're moving then that makes me pretty certain they're mites. I got mites I'm my fruit fly culture and they look exactly like them. No need to worry though as I don't think these will have any negative effects on your frogs. I think this species is a detritus feeder and helps break down organic waste.

So what to do now? frogs will eat them, but they will arrive in 3th of November only :-)

Did not think they where springtail or woodlice eggs due to their size. Well, if moving, then not fungi and probably what you and Jack said, some species of mites. Would do nothing and just let the vivarium mature without frogs.

You plan to quarantine them before introducing to vivarium; right? If arriving on the 3rd, then you would move into vivarium on Dec 3rd or so if all goes well. By then vivarium should be cycled and fungi, mites, etc. should be gone or at least reduced significantly. Good luck !

Dont planing any carantine as dont have another viv and nobody told me nothing about that , this will be well known breeder who defo not sell ill frogs . And in UK forum everybody says that frogs will eat mites, as it imposible to get rid them, if I dont put frogs, they just gonna live there and spread all over .
