Totally Satisfied Customer

I ordered a mixed culture of springtails and a culture of "Silver" semi-arid springtails for my bioactive enclosure. I cannot recommend iheartbugs enough! They arrived on time, in excellent condition and were packaged very well. Sara is awesome! She got them shipped out during a tropical storm! Her communication with the order was fantastic. She responded to any questions I had promptly (and I had a lot. Lol) The springtails are thriving and doing their job. Thank you Sara! 😊 As I told you, you have gained a customer for life!

I got these for my leopard gecko enclosure and I’m very pleased! They came quickly and carefully packaged. And it’s a good sized colony for my little dude’s tank.

I should have taken a picture to share here of the springtails when I unboxed them. I put them in my terrarium and they are SO hard to get a picture of because they are so small. But I can definitely see them in my isopods food dish, so they are doing well. My order arrived on time and was packaged EXTREMELY well. This was my first ever order of bugs/insects of any kind, so I didn't really know what to expect. I just knew that I wanted insects for my terrarium (also first time having/building one). I'm so glad I chose iheartbugs. I also purchased some isopods (in a separate order). Spoiler alert, they're amazing, Sara (the owner) is amazing. Check out my review (with pics) under the St. Lucia isopods.
