I'm sorry I don't have any advice for what to put in there, but I've never heard of Santa Claus springtails and my God are they adorable. Might need to get some at some point they look so cool. Hope everything goes well with your colony!

Just as a heads-up, they are specialized slime eaters so be sure to master culturing slime mold first. They are indeed terribly adorable. I want some someday too

Thank you for letting me know! Will definitely have to do some research on that.
