Hey all,

Looking to see if anyone has any long term experience culturing psocids. I had some yeast get infested with these and would like to keep them going.

What started as a small infestation has developed into a hugh culture and I have been taking from that and setting up experimental cultures. If anyone has successfully kept these going long term I would like to hear from you.

Mine has been going now for at least 6 months and keeps growing in size, but I haven't been tinkering with it until now.

how would you plan to harvest?

I remember form entomology class they have unsusual mouthparts.

That is the extent of my knowledge of booklice.

i mean what method are you going to use to feed these out to the frogs?

There have been several threads in which people were culturing or attempting to culture them long term. I believe stemcellular has cultured them successfully.

So far they have been pretty easy to harvest. I have pieces of coffee filter crumpled up in the culture and I just pick them up and shake off what I need.

Hadn't been using any as food until recently. Didn't want to use the culture until it was booming, which it is now.

Started a few days ago offering them to some of my newly morphed fantastica froglets.

Sorry for hashing up an old post, but since have you had success in culturing? How do you culture them?

AAHHH that's what's on the micron filter of my springtail cultures.... I'm also interested in how to culture these things...
