Jumbo 32 oz Tropical Springtail Culture -

$9.99

Availability: Out of stock

Quantity: -2

Springtails are tiny (less than half a centimeter!) and make a great supplimental food for poison dart frogs and small toads. You can also seed your vivarium with springtails and the springtails will reproduce in the tank - they serve as an additional food source, and help to keep your vivariums clean, as well. The Tropical variety of springtails culture slower than temperate springtail cultures, but tropical springtails can withstand warmer temperatures.


Feed tropical springtails uncooked white rice. The tropical springtails will consume the mold that grows on the rice. Cultures of tropical springtails can last years. Josh's Frogs recommends that you buy a culture of tropical springtails and use it start a larger culture of tropical springtails (I use 5 qt. sterilite containers - ie shoebox size).  Larger cultures of tropical springtails produce better and are less prone to CO2 buildup. Charcoal is a great substrate for culturing tropical springtails.

Amazing Review by Candace

When I got this culture I thought they were all dead or nothing was in it. I followed the directions Josh provided of leaving the top off for a bit to let the CO2 out. After a couple hours I saw some crawling around. Switched them over to a lager tub and they are producing like crazy!
I have been feeding them the leftover crested gecko diet. It will mold in the tub fairly quickly and they feast on the mold. (Posted on 5/8/12)
Good amount of springtails Review by Alex

I got this culture and it looked like it had nothing in it. Popped the lid open for an hour as per instructions and the next day there were a ton of springtails moving about. Very satisfied. (Posted on 4/26/12)
Springtails Review by Dreygon

I have had this culture for months in the same tube I got them in and they keep producing, I got it down to barely any and left them alone and they sprung back to life with thousands again. With little feeding and maintenance one of the best extra food sources for frogs.

Great buy! Review by Stanton

When the culture got to my house, I was amazed with all the springtails I saw when I first took the lid off. I've had the culture for several months, and the maintenance is very easy! Also good for culturing in the froggie tank. (Posted on 11/27/11)

This is the first time i ever branched out to a new food source for my dart frogs. When i ordered the tropical springtails i had many questions and i was not sure how they would turn out. I have had them for about 3 weeks and they are doing great and they multiply very fast once the culture is established. Using the wood charcoal works amazing giving the topical springtails the ability to move through the substrate. The springtails are now one of my favorite food sources and i rely heavily on the springtails for a great food source for any size dart frog. (Posted on 3/18/11)
