Description

Springtails help keep your vivarium clean, meaning less time picking up after your animals.

These tiny insects live in the substrate of your vivarium and eat waste and mold while also digging tunnels to increase oxygen flow. That’s why we call Springtails “Tank Janitors”.

Springtails are low maintenance.

An added bonus – animals like to eat springtails. Dart frogs like to nibble on these guys as they walk past, making them a perfect snack.

They arrived safe and sound despite the March weather, well-packaged, and seemed quite active.

It took a while for the springtails to become visible. After adding them to the enclosure, it took roughly a month of rarely seeing any before their numbers grew. I thought the isopods might have eaten them, but now there are lots. When they first arrived, I couldn't see any in the cup, alive or dead, but they started to appear after warming it under the heat panel for a while.

  1. Packaging was great, unfortunately they all arrived dead. I have a video but it’s too big to upload.

    • Hi Bellamy,
      Sorry to hear, unfortunately this is a shipping issue. As indicated when placing the order ground shipping cannot be used outside of the green range on our shipping map. Ground shipping means the order is in the back of a cold freight trailer for long extended periods, and is only intended for things that are not alive outside of the green map range. You must select either Purolator Express or Express Air to ensure quick short cold exposure, as the order gets transferred from one airport to another while traveling at warm aircraft cabin temps. Come back to us in the summer and we will give you a credit on a future order.

  2. My package of springtails finally arrived and none were alive.

    • Hi Austin,

      Very sorry to hear. Our customer service team will reach out to you and we will arrange to replace them.

  3. I’m a repeat customer and really appreciate the good quality products and fast shipping.
