QuestionCan I put springtails in a terrarium? If so, how can I find them?Mark O'GuinCommunity AnswerI imagine you could. In my area they can be found by turning over bricks and such in shady areas of the garden. They also leave relatively large egg capsules. If you wish to create a living mini woodland environment,it will require research, collecting materials, and constant maintenance/upkeep. I once kept salamanders in a partially planted terrarium for a few years and it required dedication to balance their needs with the needs of the plants and other organisms. The addition of any new insect or animal to a terrarium may lead to all kinds of unforeseen issues.

QuestionDo you have to have a lid for your moss garden/terrarium?Nightmare ChildCommunity AnswerThe lid helps the moss retain moisture. If you’re planning not to have a lid, then make sure you keep it humid in there! You need a lid if you’re planning on keeping any animals, though.
