The balanced mixture provides important  <\/span><span class=\"s2\">carbohydrates, trace elements, vitamins and proteins<\/span><span class=\"s1\">which are particularly important for growth, reproduction and a stable culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Springtails are among the most important helpers in bioactive terrariums. They decompose organic material, utilize food residues and help to reduce mould growth. However, for a culture to develop well in the long term, the animals need a    <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Constant and easily utilizable food source<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For this reason, we have developed our <strong>springtail food<\/strong> as a <\/span><span class=\"s2\">finely ground powder<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  developed. The fine structure makes it much easier for the animals to eat, so that even small springtails can utilize the food without any problems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The recipe is based on <\/span><span class=\"s2\">many years of own breeding experience<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. We have been using this mixture successfully in our own springtail breeding for many years and have continued to optimize it over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another advantage lies in the <\/span><span class=\"s2\">clean recycling<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  of the feed. With the correct dosage, hardly anything is left behind, which significantly reduces the risk of mold growth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is particularly easy to use. Sprinkle   <\/span><span class=\"s2\">a small amount twice a week<\/span><span class=\"s1\">  onto the charcoal or directly onto the substrate. It is best to start with a very low dosage &#8211; roughly as if you were adding a little salt to a dish. You can then slowly increase the amount until you have found the optimum amount of food for your crop.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With our <\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\">springtail food<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s1\"> you reliably supply your Collembola with important nutrients and at the same time create a stable basis for <\/span><span class=\"s2\">healthy and productive springtail cultures<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our very own recipe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":143034,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product-supplier":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1487],"product_tag":[],"lce-checkout-addons":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-149977","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-food-calcium","7":"product_shipping_class-equipment-shipping","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Springtail food - Insektenliebe<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Springtail food - natural powder food for Collembola.
