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.
