Bioactive Terrarium Pros and Cons Is it Worth it? Pets for Apartments
The term "bioactive" was coined back in the mid 1990's. Some poison dart frogs were housed utilizing springtails and isopods in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens (ABG) mix with leaf litter and other organic matter mixed in to provide a self-cleaning, self-maintaining ecosystem within the animals' enclosure.

Bioactive Terrarium Bugs. In a bioactive terrarium, certain bugs are necessary and beneficial as they form your "clean-up crew." They are responsible for breaking down waste material, preventing mold growth, and contributing to the overall health of the terrarium. Here are a few bugs commonly used: 1.

A "bioactive" terrarium or vivarium is one that uses microfauna (i.e., tiny animals) and microflora (i.e., microbial organisms) to regulate the environment. Just as nature has its ways to recycle decaying plants and organic matter, a bioactive setup hopes to achieve the same. Albeit on a much smaller scale.

A bioactive terrarium is a self-sustaining ecosystem that contains live plants and animals. The key to creating a successful bioactive terrarium is to mimic the natural environment as closely as possible. This means choosing the right plants and animals, as well as providing them with the necessary food, water, and shelter.

What Is a Bioactive Vivarium? Bioactive vivaria are typically (but not always) natural-looking habitats, with plenty of plants and habitat-appropriate substrates. But the "bioactive" moniker refers specifically to the substrate - bioactive substrates are "alive." They foster an entire ecosystem of fungi, bacteria, and small animals.
