Hi Rob,

I would say 50-60% of my frogs diet is spring tails Wink

culturing is easy.... plastic take away container 3/4 filled with irish peat moss (which is really just peat Laughing ) fed on rice baby cereal and they will boom.

Stuart took a culture from me the other day so he might be kind and take a picture of it...

Few more than me then Smile I'm going to expand just not quite yet although I may be able to get some CB Mantella aurantiaca soon, hope so as these are quite rare so I'm led to believe, I know they are cites listed.
