springtail raising

[colddigger]

i caught some large springtail and currently have them in a container with leaves(dead and crushed partly) and plenty of moisture, i'm wondering if there is a better set-up i can make for them, and is there any way to stimulate breeding?

I culture a few types of springtails and the primary foods they get are melon rinds and dog food.

thanks, i can't get melon rinds at the moment but i do have dog food. should the dog food be treated in any way? grinding, watered down, or just scatter them?

Large pieces of dog food may mold before completely consumed but there is no necessary preparation.
