Veja se eu entendi. vc coloca o carvão em uma água com aveia? depois coloca em um recipiente fechado, e os insetos reproduzem? See if I understand. Do you put charcoal in water with oatmeal? then put it in a closed container, and the insects reproduce?

Do you ever add a calcium supplement or do the oats cover that?

@@BobyChanMan no I never add calcium. Springtails don't require it. They just need to feed off the mold that will grow on the oats.

@@marcoapolinario2009 sorry for the late reply I only just saw your question. I keep my springtails in a container with horticultural charcoal and a little bit of water. I have extremely tiny holes in the lid for ventilation. I pulverize the oats into a powder and I don't add anything to it. Not charcoal or anything else. I then sprinkle that powder over the charcoal in my springtail culture. I mist the powder with water to get it moist and put the lid back on. The springtails will start eating the oats right away but within a day the oats will grow mold that the springtails will also feed on. When the oats and mold is almost gone you can add more by repeating the same process.

@@ShellyCline I see, thanks!

Yes

Check out my video on springtails breeding and culture

Collect along with substrate. Pour water and springtails will float up. Pour gently over charcoal in another container. They cause no harm to humans.

Should be fine I think but do consult other tortoise keepers in your region

Not very tight. Open every other day.

I bought an airtight plastic container from the dollar store and I took a sewing needle, while holding it with pliers I heated the needle with a lighter and then poked several very tiny holes in the lid. I did this until I had probably 50 holes. They are plenty big enough and numerous to allow for oxygen but too small for gnats to fit through. 😊 FYI I had to reheat the needle with the lighter every three or four pokes. 😁

It needs to be opened every other day. The lid is also not very tight.

if I make a small hole, will they be able to climb on the plastic surface like that?​@@TheUrbanNemophilist

About a cm and half lower than the charcoal layer. Don’t submerge the charcoal entirely.

Les collemboles vivent partout, mais il est vrai qu'elles sont difficiles à trouver

When it gets dirty and start smelling bad

You can collect them from your garden and develop a culture kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epx3q7J1tbzJZ30.html

More info here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epx3q7J1tbzJZ30.htmlsi=rYcKXik0MgJH1GF4 You can look in dark damp areas in your garden and collect them with a brush into a container

Feel free to check out this video for more information kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epx3q7J1tbzJZ30.html

Springtail culture for mold prevention in closed terrariums. You can check out my video on Springtails for more information.

Lol upon reading this comment i immediately checked our orchids behind the window, they have mini creatures too! Gonna steal them for me terrarium lmfao. Thanku for this comment

@@kerlowkey hahahaha they like wet areas like that. When I watered my Orchids,they go out from their hideouts.

@yurimia8705 haha hideouts, sneaky lil animals they are indeed

What is the TDS of your tap water. What is the levels of chlorine if any and other dissolved minerals?

Rice gets moldy and its eaten up.

No they will need different housing with soil, leaf litter and driftwood.

@@TheUrbanNemophilist Okey , Thanks For Information 🙏🏻

Springtails are beneficial insects. All details in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epx3q7J1tbzJZ30.html

Garden soil

@@TheUrbanNemophilist do they just exist there?

You can source from dark and samp places in your garden or from the wild.

You have to do some research. Not much idea about black springtails

Подскажите ,а для чего они вообще ? Никак не могу понять . Они живут на угле . Уголь потом стряхивают . Полностью? Чтоб на нем не осталась ни одно насекомое ? И для чего это ?

Yes because they usually don’t eat the rice. They feed on the mold that grows on it

@@TheUrbanNemophilist owhhhhh lol thankss

Water to be added below the charcoal to keep the enclosure humid

charcoal setup don't really work with most Neanuridae if I'm not wrong

You can develop one yourself. Try looking for them in dark and damp places in your garden or under planter pots.

Check out my long video on springtails to know more

❤😮where do I get some springtails​@@TheUrbanNemophilist

Springtails feed on mold and decaying matter keeping the terrarium fresh

Dark and humid area

You can start your own culture easily. Check out my video on springtails culture snd breeding on the channel.

Yes

@@TheUrbanNemophilist which mineralisers do You use with RO water?

Yes

If anyone doesn't reply then this is my answer. Yes , it will but what I do is I mix it with organic compost just to simulate their natural environment hope this helps!

Reverse osmosis

Yes

@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you

Amazon

I always find them on the soil when I overwater a plant

hi want to ask you

@@kirti8946 ?

Easy to transfer springtails to terrariums or vivariums. Keeps the enclosure clean and odour free

@@TheUrbanNemophilist thanke
