It seems the only thing that will wipe out a culture quickly is if it dries out.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />  Thanks, I the GIF one showing the culture moving (about 2 seconds apart) really shows them off.One of the best things I found for them is to buy a huge bag of those cheap dry dog biscuits - like $5 for 5 pounds of them. When wet they quickly mold in just a few days time and they love it. You will need to grind up the biscuits to a powder, I use one of those magic bullet blender/grinders (but a coffee bean grinder, food processor, or blender should work great and can be got for $5-$15 at many stores (second hand from a thrift store is even better and cheaper too)). Then just sprinkle the powdered biscuits in their culture and mist with water.If you want a recipe though (not necessary) here is the one I use for my cricket feed mix, but it works even better for springtails.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
