Description
Springtail Supermix isn’t just a starter culture — it’s a long-term, keeper-proof solution.
This bundle combines a healthy live springtail culture with springtail food chosen to keep reproduction consistent. When maintained correctly, it will keep producing indefinitely, giving you an ongoing supply of live springtails and making daily harvests realistic for high-demand setups.
What’s Included
- Live Springtail Culture – actively breeding springtails ready to seed a vivarium or run as a feeder colony.
- Springtail Food – supports rapid reproduction, colony stability, and consistent output.
Designed for Daily Harvesting
If you’re feeding froglets, raising juveniles, or running multiple enclosures, you already know how quickly standard cultures get rinsed. Springtail Supermix is designed so you can harvest what you need and let the population bounce back fast — without constantly buying replacements.
Why Springtails Matter in Bioactive Setups
Springtails are a core part of any bioactive vivarium. They work 24/7 as a micro clean-up crew, and they double as a steady live micro-feeder for natural grazing and hunting behaviour.
- Helps control mould and fungal blooms
- Breaks down decaying organic matter and waste
- Supports healthier substrate and planted setups
- Excellent live food for dart frogs and froglets
Ideal For
- Springtails for dart frogs (all species and life stages)
- Froglets and grow-out tubs
- Bioactive vivariums and terrariums
- Isopod and microfauna systems
- Keepers who want a reliable, repeatable feeding routine
How to Use
- Introduce springtails to damp substrate, leaf litter, moss, or a designated “microfauna corner”.
- Feed lightly — a little goes a long way.
- Keep conditions moist (not flooded).
- Harvest as needed — daily if required.
Frogfather Notes
This is the setup I recommend when people ask for a culture they can actually depend on. If you want live springtails available whenever you need them — and you want your bioactive system to stay clean and stable — this is the one.
Important Information
- Live invertebrates supplied.
- Culture appearance may vary depending on growth stage and temperature during transit.
- Enclosure and animals not included.
- For best results, maintain moisture and avoid overfeeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the Springtail Supermix last?
When kept correctly, Springtail Supermix can be maintained indefinitely. With light feeding and proper moisture, the culture continues reproducing, supporting ongoing harvesting.
Can I harvest springtails every day?
Yes. This bundle is designed for daily harvesting. Take what you need and the population will replenish when fed and kept moist.
Is this suitable for dart frogs?
Absolutely. These springtails for dart frogs are ideal for froglets, juveniles, and shy feeders — and they encourage natural hunting behaviour.
Do springtails help in bioactive vivariums?
Yes — springtails are essential for a proper bioactive vivarium. They help control mould, recycle organic waste, and support a healthier substrate.
How often should I feed the culture?
Small amounts every few days is usually plenty. Overfeeding is unnecessary — steady, light feeding keeps the culture stable and productive.
Can I add these directly to my vivarium?
Yes. You can add springtails straight into your enclosure, keep the culture separate for harvesting, or do both for maximum stability.
Are these safe with other cleanup crew species?
Yes. Springtails work well alongside isopods and other microfauna as part of a balanced bioactive system.
Will the culture arrive ready to use?
Yes. Cultures are supplied active and ready, though activity levels can vary slightly depending on temperatures in transit.
