ProRep Springtail Food 150g

ProRep Springtail Food is a dedicated feed for springtail cultures, designed to take the guesswork out of keeping and breeding these essential vivarium cleaners. Whether you're running cultures for bioactive terrariums or producing live microfauna for dart frogs and other small species, this gives your springtails exactly what they need to thrive and reproduce consistently.

Why Standard Foods Fall Short

In the wild, springtails feed on fungi colonising decomposing plant material. In culture, keepers often turn to flaked fish food, boiled rice, or mushrooms — all of which can foul the substrate quickly, promote crashes, and make it difficult to judge correct feeding amounts. ProRep Springtail Food is formulated specifically to avoid these problems entirely.

What It's Made From

The food is manufactured from denatured and stabilised yeast, delivering a nutrient profile that supports both maintenance and active breeding in intensive cultures. Because it's purpose-made rather than repurposed, it works consistently and predictably in a way that improvised feeds simply cannot match.

How to Feed

Every two to three days, sprinkle a small amount directly onto the culture medium — enough for the colony to consume within around 12 hours. The springtails eat it completely, leaving no residue behind, so there is no need to remove uneaten or decaying food between feeds.

Keeping Cultures Clean and Stable

• Zero waste — food is fully consumed, so fouling and contamination are avoided
• No rotting matter means the culture substrate stays clean and viable for longer
• Reduces the risk of culture crashes caused by toxic build-up
• Long shelf life makes the 150g tub practical for regular and long-term use

For any keeper running bioactive setups or maintaining live microfauna colonies, ProRep Springtail Food removes the inconsistency from the process and keeps cultures productive without the mess or monitoring that improvised feeds demand.
