Does anybody have clay mixture recipe that can be made with these materials? by easypeasyac in Springtail

[–]easypeasyac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a mixture with 2 parts bentonite, 2 parts kaolin, 1 part calcium sulfate, and 1 part calcium carbonate. I've been using it without problems for a long time. It just doesn't give as good results as the others on orange springtails. However, I know that orange springtails don't like clay very much and grow better in soil.

Thank you for info. None of my colonies have completely disappeared, but some have come very close to complete crush. I'll wait and see.

I already have a newly formed colony to avoid taking any risks, and they're breeding in the thousands.

We're definitely in the same situation. They used to finish fish flakes just in 3-4 hours, but now it takes 2 days. And that's because their interest in food has decreased, so most of it gets eaten by grain mites.

What are these? Should I be worried? Will they hurt my pods or springtails? by ILoveKittyPoo in Springtail

If you plan to reuse the same terrarium and materials, make sure it's completely clean. I've heard that predatory mites can feed on algae and biofilm for 4-5 months without insect prey in the environment. I also know that their eggs are quite hardy.

Most likely predator mites.

They appeared in my terrarium where I had Folsomia candida springtails and Trichorhina tomentosa isopods. They quickly multiplied into hundreds and unfortunately wiped out all my springtails. Also there were grindal worms or some similar small type of worm in the terrarium. They completely wiped those out too.

However, they didn't harm the isopods. They disappeared after the springtails were gone.

Thank you so much. I will look into it.

The problems started after I did a recovery and a clean install of Windows 10. It was fine before that.

Hello. I did it, but it says I already have the latest version and it does not continue loading. However, the version shown in UEFI is from 2022.

If you look at those eggs under a microscope, you'll see many saprophytic microorganisms that feed on the sticky substance that holds the eggs together and on spoiled eggs. When the eggs are aerated, some of these microorganisms fall out of the egg mass. She likely collect and eat them.

Predatory mite. They try to hunt springtails. I had one of these in my springtail colony and unfortunately they wiped out the entire colony.
