Ingredients

The combination of these ingredients provides a varied nutritional profile suitable for maintaining healthy springtail cultures.

How to Feed Springtails

Sprinkle a small amount of Powdered Feed for Springtails directly onto the surface of the culture.

Start with a small quantity and adjust the amount according to the size and population of the colony. Allow the springtails to consume the food before adding more.

Avoid excessive feeding, as uneaten food can accumulate in the culture. Small and regular portions are generally preferable to large amounts of food at once.

It is essential to understand that you should never give them more food than they can eat in 24-48 hours; this is a rule for all springtails if you want to avoid mold and mites.

Suitable Springtail Species

This powdered feed can be used with a wide variety of springtails commonly kept in captivity, including species and varieties from genera such as Sinella, Coecobrya, Heteromurus, Orchesella, Lepidocyrtus and poduros Yuukianura, Onychiuridae, Lobella and Ceratophysella.

It is particularly useful for breeders maintaining multiple springtail cultures who want a convenient and versatile food suitable for different species.

Not Suitable for Slimers

This product is not suitable for slimers. Slimers have different feeding requirements and feed exclusively on slime. This powdered feed is intended for springtails that consume solid food.

Storage

Store the powdered feed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed and use clean, dry utensils when handling the product.

Ideal for Springtail Cultures

Whether you keep a single culture or maintain multiple colonies for breeding, Powdered Feed for Springtails provides a simple and convenient way to supplement the diet of your springtails.

Use small portions regularly and adjust the amount according to colony size and consumption.
