Review: Must have for any bioactive set up. - 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.
Review: Arrived alive and well - 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!
