Josh's Frogs Magnolia Leaf Litter (1 Gallon)

Received a generous amount of nice and big magnolia leaves! As always, no harmful hitchhikers, they did have the first hitchhikers I've ever had from Josh's but it was some cute globular springtails (which sadly were outcompeted by the temperate springies). This advice goes for any leaves, but I can confirm with certainty it works with these. If you're doing a bioactive with springtails and isopods, SOAK YOUR LEAVES!! The most efficient way I've seen recommended is boil them til they sink and then soak, but all I did was throw them in a bin of water for a bit over a day and the change is insane. Have these in all my isopod bins, only soaked the leaves from one to test, and they started eating through the leaves and breeding like mad. These are cubaris panda kings, relatively slow breeders and eaters, but they did significantly more leaf eating than my (many more) powder blues!! I advise strongly you do this, you may need to replace leaves more often but it's worth the results. Also, soaking the leaves releases the magnolia scent, and it is very nice :)

No complaints with this leaf litter, it arrived in good condition and the leaves were well sized and unbroken!
