Build Help/Question Best way to keep springtails thriving?

Post image

Just picked up some springtails as my terrarium is starting to get some mold growth and I’m tired of having to pull out decaying leaves. Any tips to make sure these guys thrive?

Oh yeah, that petco bs is terrible, I highly recommend eBay, for almost the same price you get a container with hundred of them obviously in there, same with isopods too.

Josh’s frogs has seriously declined in quality, I wouldn’t recommend ordering anything live from them
