leaves from live trees and plants in live vivs ??

[spikemu]

should i be taking all the leaves that have come of my plants out of the viv??

i can swear if u let it rot it will give nutrients back into the soil to help the other plants grow ??? ?

like work as a tiny compost heap ??

coz loads fall off of the vine thing so i was just wondering ???

[cordylidae]

yes you can leave them if you have springtails etc im sure you dont even need them but as far as i know they will speed up the process

[spikemu]

[cordylidae]

theyre little white insect that eat ur lizards poo and fungus etc they are used in eco vivs them and woodlice mad4frogs seel them i think

[spikemu]

i got this tiny lil fly that flys around in there that wont go away lol

any idea wat that is ???

it doesnt seem to harm anything tho

[DaveAnscombe]

Squish the fly Insert woodlice.They shouldent escape they will be quite happy eating the ded plant/skin/poo In the viv .Of course the odd 1 or two could escape but whats a few little bugs? We have spiders in our houses so why the hell not :P

Srpingtails are so tiny, I doubt you'd notice if any escaped.

The fly is probably a fruit fly or a compost fly. They're harmless but breed reaaally quickly and get EVERYWHERE. I recommend getting rid of it.
