Isopods - Put some of your left over soil in a shoe box sized plastic container. (Soak the ABG/Soil before you add it to the tub). Dump Isopods into tub. Add a small piece of cardboard with no printing or glue on it to the tub (they love to climb on and in these. You can either feed them Cucumbers, Zucchini, Repashy Bug Burger. Just add a bit of food and check on them every couple days. If the soil looks dry Mist it and if the food is gone replace it. Isopods breed slower so it can take months before you see a noticeable size growth in the population. Once Isopods are added to the tank there is no need to add food for them. They will eat decaying leafs, plants, frog poop.. Basically anything organic that is dead. Oh these guys also love love love egg shells. Just crack the egg, cook egg, take shells with all that slimy delicious stuff still on them and toss them in the bin.


Springtails - Shoe Box size plastic container - Add Activated charcoal (Horticultural grade, preferable smallish pieces), add 1 inch of water to the bottom of the tub. Dump in Springtails. Feed brewers yeast. 30 days roughly for the first population boom. Springs feed on decaying organic matter in the vivariums. They need it very humid. The 1" of water will help keep the humidity up keep topping the water off as it evaporates. Feed every 2 days or when all food is gone.
