What is a Swell Live Springtails Pre-Pack? Swell Live Springtails Pre-Packs are containers filled with lively Springtails (sometimes called 'Spring tails' erroneously) an outstanding species of bioactive custodians that will both challenge your reptiles and feed them. These Springtails are small insects that only measure a few millimetres long, making them a great food for small pets, such as Dart Frogs or Mourning Geckos. What are Springtails used for? These bugs breed readily in the right rainforest terrarium set up and do an exceptional job of breaking down organic waste, so it doesn't build up and go mouldy in the enclosure. Springtails also allow plants to use their waste to their advantage and thrive from it. When bioactive enclosures work correctly they are extremely efficient with little need for upkeep. How do you add Springtails to an enclosure? This Pre-Pack tub offers a soil tub filled with Springtails for you to release into your enclosure. To get them well set up in an effective ecosystem, we would recommend getting these in first before adding any pets and waiting for between 10-14 days before adding your pet. This allows the Springtails to establish themselves before being eaten. Livefood food is despatched directly from the supplier the same day if you order before 12pm and the next day if you order after 12pm. Livefood is delivered Monday to Thursday on a next working day delivery service.

I recently purchased the Swell Reptiles Live Springtails for my bioactive terrarium, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and vitality of these little creatures. The packaging was secure and ensured that the springtails arrived alive and well. Upon introducing them to the terrarium, they immediately began to thrive, demonstrating their effectiveness as bioactive custodians. They are excellent at breaking down waste and preventing mold, contributing significantly to the health and cleanliness of the enclosure. Additionally, they serve as a nutritious live food source for my reptiles, which eagerly hunt them down. Overall, the Swell Reptiles Live Springtails are a fantastic addition for anyone looking to maintain a healthy, self-sustaining environment for their reptiles. I highly recommend them for both their functionality and quality.

I was a bit worried due to another review saying they had not arrived alive, however my batch were all good and still going strong 24 hours later (food arrived today and have been keeping them misted in the meantime). They arrived quickly and well packed and there are hundreds of them too!

Good quality springtales. As my first control group they have been split into 4 additional groups and are a mainstay of all my terrariums.

I ordered them for my terrarium because I was lacking bugs, the box they come in is really secure and you don't have to worry about any escaping.

It's been about 2 months since they arrived and went straight in my carnivorous plant terrarium. Perked my plants right up and the spring tails seem to have made themselves right at home always a few running around or occasionally spot some burrowing against the glass. Seems like they do a great job the last pot could get a smell as the plants like to be flooded now and then but nothing since my new cleaning crew arrived.

A few were dead, ordered two boxes but good job really as they were mostly empty. Arrived on dry substrate, so instantly transferred to a culture tub. Definitely not value for money, doesn't seem like any care at all went in to this collection.

I actually used the springtails for my terrariums I instead! The quailty of them was very good, very good value of money. Good size tub. Good service came very fast. No smell. Would recommend

All arrived living 👍 now happily living in my 2 terrariums
