This Springtails Pre-pack is dispatched direct from the breeder, ensuring colonies arrive in the best possible condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBioactive Cleaner Crew\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpringtails are the standard choice for bioactive enclosures because their size makes them almost impossible for most reptiles and larger amphibians to target deliberately — they simply get on with the job. They break down organic waste and suppress mould growth, reducing the maintenance burden on the keeper and supporting a healthier substrate ecosystem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLive Food for Small Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt just a few millimetres in length, springtails are also a practical live food option for very small amphibians and invertebrates, including dart frogs and mourning geckos.
