If you are less experienced, we would recommend a 100+ colony that is all ready to go. Please see our other listing for that option.

PLEASE NOTE: To ensure the health of the animals, we post the first working day of each week to minimise their time in transit. Orders received by midnight on Saturdays will be posted on Monday (or the first business day of the week) Orders received after that will go into the next week's shipment. We highly recommend Express Post - please select the option at checkout

 ********** We will also include a free care guide for your Springtails and / or Isopods with each purchase*******

 When it comes to bioactive cleanup crews, there’s nothing better than a springtail colony. While Springtails make an awesome crew on their own, they can work together with the Isopods to keep the terrarium clean and they help to enrich and aerate the substrate for the benefit of your plants or clean up the mess left behind by your pet in their Vivarium.
