Spring is here and todays post is all about spring. Tails that is! Springtails are an essential part of any bioactive system. Over at Terrarium Tribe they have a good how-to on culturing Springtails. If you are starting out with creating your bioactive habitat be sure to give the following link a read.

Springtails are fast becoming a true terrarium/vivarium staple. The (small but) mighty champion that’s strong enough to hold back the tide of mold – keeping our ecosystems happy and healthy. Alas, our proud warriors can’t do it alone; their strength lies in their numbers. Which means we typica...

If you are looking for a quick and interesting read on how to increase the quality of life for your hedgie, check out the following article from Bearded Dragons World. The reptile community has been a great inspiration for bioactive hedgehog environments.

This is how we at Daisy's Quills on Wheels plan on finishing out our bioactive habitats. This technique provides a more naturalistic environment for our hedgehog friends and can even replace things like wooden hides if the design is well thought out.

Worms! Hedgies love mealworms almost as much as they love running on their wheel! You could buy some at a pet shop for treats or you could start your own farm, save some money and never run out of your babies favorite snack. Check out this link if you are interested on how to start a simple farm. These instructions are basic but that is the beauty of mealworm culture. There isn't much to it. Happy hedgies!

Mealworms are a wonderful snack for your chickens, and can easily be raised at home. Learn more about raising mealworms on your homestead and why you should!

We wanted to pass it along here to those that may not be aware of what a bioactive habitat is and how it can change the game for both hedgie and keeper alike. We model all our bioactive enclosures after this model. Enjoy!
