A New Way to Culture Springtails! 

Definetly going to try this out! Nice work as always buddy.

This was a very good coverage of this!

Very cool method. Definitely going to try this out. Thanks

I’m going to try this soon. Great video.

I will give this a try when my springtail cultures are producing again. Thanks!

Great video. Good for you! Trying new things. I am all over this! I have a dozen 'used up' ff cultures right now that I'll setup tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

Awesome I'm definitely gonna try this method

I'm currently rearing 8 baby salamanders that are aprox 1"- 1.5" so this is great news for me and the like. Yeah I have a ff culture that was a day from tossing, but not now. Its pretty smelly though and will step that culture on its side in my night crawler setup which had unknowingly had spring tails in it. Thanx for the tip and will definitely pass this on! Subed and thumbs up for sure

I’ll try that 😋 thanks Travis ! 🙏

Works great for culturing mites too. Gotta vary that diet.. ;)

Cool idea!!! Not like I have anything else to do right now 🙋🏻‍♀️

Love the histo calling in the background :)

Solid content keep going!

Its definitely worth a try 👍🏻

What can i do as bedding if i don't have a dead fly culture?

Thank you for this sharing. I'll try it as soon as my flies cultures are finished ! (Btw i use fifty fifty charcoal and coco Musk for my springtails cultures right now and i'ts kinda slow, even with your range of temperatures)

Young man, a refreshing new (to me) take on this Springtail subject. You are spot on about keeping an open mind about new ideas (thumbs up). We are told (by the "experts") to avoid and keep those pesky mites out at all costs, but you have just turned it on it's head and proved (at least in your case) that so called pest mites can still be tolerated and of use (to the frogs - though, not my cup of tea, the frogs I mean) - Just don't like the use of the description Poison Dart Frog - puts me right off :) - Added to favs - always willing to consider new ideas. - Regards Jim from UK (Lapsed Aquarist looking to re-enter the hobby via ISOPODS).

I culture my springtails in organic potting mix w a little rinsed play sand, sphagnum moss, and a big chunk of pillow moss to hold humidity. I have tens of thousands and no mites

I do this with my isopods. Works awesome!

Being new to this hobby, about a year now, I was sooo worried about my cultures getting too old and getting mites. Good to know that a few mites won't harm my frogs. I have noticed in my thumbnail tank tiny spidy webs, spider mites? I keep just swiping it, doesn't seem to bother my thumbnail frogs.

Need to try this

Pretty interesting... which types of springtails have I tried this with?

Nice videoooo❤❤❤❤

What kind of left over fruit fly media are you using? Do you think it will matter?

Wow

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

3 years on, how is this working out for you?

Could you do a video on just how to feed your dart frogs? I just have two pair ....newbie here...and I’m not sure how to feed them properly. I have been dumping fruit flies in and bought the calcium dusting powder but I feel like I have no clue if they are getting enough food. They do hide a lot so I don’t know how much they are getting. Thanks!

Great video!!!!!!!! Sub

So mites aren't harmful to dart frogs then?

Do you feed the springtails or open the container?

Hi first

Hey

maybe you can try to breed them on Lorifood

Does anyone else think this guy looks like Lou Diamond Phillips ? Sorry, I couldn't resist any longer :(

The only problem using this method is grain mite infestation.
