Hey Sam,

Smart question



The supps going into the FF media will be wasted to a massive %.

I do put supps/cal/yeast only as food for my springtails as they eat only what is added. The FF media is the main source of food for the Ffs and the bang for the buck of adding supps to media vs. dusting is not worth it.

When dust hits the viv , not eaten by frogs, there are usually enough hitchhiker bugs in most vivs to actually be beneficial to existing springtails and other critters in viv.

I would say don’t worry about dumping a little dust in your vivs. It would be VERY hard to enough add dust to the culture to make things work out well. Bang for the buck.
