I didn't find any dead ones either. It appeared like a small container of moist compost. Review: Highly recommend!!!! - Got two mixed seeding cultures and couldn't be happier with this purchase! Easy to use in my tarantula enclosures. Highly recommended and they have been thriving and reproducing since. Before this purchase I bought other springtails at local stores and never had good results. These are so lively. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Critters Direct | | Colour | White | | Item Weight | 8 Ounces | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | Vivarium Cleanup Crew, Amphibian and Reptile Food | | Style | Tropical | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Critters Direct - **Colour:** White - **Included Components:** Live Springtails, sphagnum peat substrate - **Item Weight:** 8 Ounces - **Manufacturer:** Critters Direct - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Specific Uses For Product:** Vivarium Cleanup Crew, Amphibian and Reptile Food - **Style:** Tropical - **UPC:** 647297410305 - **Vivarium Type:** Terrarium ## Images ![Critters Direct Live Springtails, Mixed Seeding Culture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61r9P01jFDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the difference between seeding and breeding cultures?** A: Seeding cultures are comprised of hundreds of springtails mixed in an organic substrate. The organic substrate (together with the springtails) is added directly to your habitats substrate. Breeding cultures are also comprised of hundreds of springtails but the substrate is lump hardwood charcoal where the springtails breed more readily. Simply tap the springtails from the charcoal to the desired habitat. Breeding cultures will continue to breed in perpetuity if properly maintained. **Q: Do most buyers choose the free economy shipping?** A: Yes **Q: How do you properly maintain the rest of the springtails?** A: About once a month put some raw rice (12-15 grains depending on size of your collection) in the container with the springtails and lightly moisten with distilled water spray . The rice will look pretty gross in a few days but they will eat all of it. **Q: How many should you put in? And how often?** A: As there are hundreds of springtails in the culture, we recommend putting 1/2 the culture into your habitat and measure the results while continuing to let the other 1/2 of the culture breed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ No live springtails *by T***E on 28 February 2025* There was not a single live spring tail in the container that arrived.

It appeared like a small container of moist compost. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend!!!! *by J***N on 27 May 2026* Got two mixed seeding cultures and couldn't be happier with this purchase! Easy to use in my tarantula enclosures. Highly recommended and they have been thriving and reproducing since. Before this purchase I bought other springtails at local stores and never had good results.

They have done very well at controlling the mold in my snail enclosure. I’m so happy with them! The packaging and delivery was great! I live in phoenix, AZ so I was concerned about the weather causing a problem with their life expectancy given how sensitive they are to temperature but they delivered them at the perfect time of day to ensure they were safe. ## Frequently Bought Together - Live Springtails, Mixed Seeding Culture, by Critters Direct - TC INSECTS Live 25ct Powder Orange Isopods (Porcellionides Pruinosus) Cleanup Crew & Reptile Food - XYZReptiles Premium Live Oak Leaf Litter Isopod Substrate Terrarium Bedding (1 Gallon) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/545276778-critters-direct-live-springtails-mixed-seeding-culture](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/545276778-critters-direct-live-springtails-mixed-seeding-culture) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
