Collembola / Springtails (Springstaartjes) Tub are essential microfauna for creating and maintaining a balanced, bioactive environment in your terrarium or vivarium.

🐜 What Are Springtails?

Springtails (Collembola) are tiny, white, soil-dwelling arthropods that thrive in moist environments. They feed on decaying organic matter, mold, and fungi, helping to keep your enclosure clean and odor-free.

🌱 Why You Need Them

• Natural Cleanup Crew: Springtails consume waste and decaying matter, preventing harmful bacteria and mold from forming.

• Live Food Source: Ideal supplemental diet for small reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates such as dart frogs and mantises.

• Eco-Balance: They promote a stable micro-ecosystem and reduce the need for frequent substrate changes.

• Beginner-Friendly: Easy to care for and reproduce quickly under proper humidity and temperature.

🧺 How to Use

2. Maintain moderate humidity (60–90%) and room temperature (20–25°C).

3. Feed with small amounts of yeast, rice, or vegetable scraps weekly.

4. Mist lightly with dechlorinated water to keep substrate moist but not soaked.
