Which species of sprintail did you use, and with what roach species? I don't know about chewing roaches legs off, but I have had problems with Sinella curviseta outcompeting a species of roach whose hatchlings were smaller than the springtails themselves. I doubt the springtails ate your roaches legs off, they may have done so themselves due to the stress of constant tactile contact with the springtails if they were really numerous.I recently ran into problems with overcrowding of springtails. They ate many of my roaches legs off. I have since separated all the roaches in all my enclosures from the springtails. I noticed this after several roaches perished.
Yeah, those are the Sinella curviseta, the species I've had problems with. Which roach species were they, just wondering?I ordered some pink springtails about a year ago. Don't know the species. In several enclosures, I had various cockroach species affected. The springtail populations grew out of control. I had thousands in each enclosure. I think a higher humidity in the enclosures excaserbated the overcrowding problem.

Ah, I see, that sucks.They only roaches that I know that were not affected for sure were glowspots and extinct in the wild, because i have a starter supply of those. Both are at least a year old, the glowspots still immature.
Yes, more than 1000 in every enclosureAh, I see, that sucks.I'm surprised even the hissers were affected, must have been thousands of the guys in there.
No, I have not, but he looks like an author I would be interested in, may have to try reading some of his stuff one day!Off topic, I see you read books in your sig. ever try Brandon Sanderson books?
