Hi everyone

I saw some small tiny little white bugs inside my indoor sully enclosure...
Not sure if you can see them in the video...there's couple of them swimming in the middle of the water dish.....and a lot of them under rocks
Do anyone have any idea what they are?
Are they bad for my sully or human?
Should I try to get rid of them? If so, how should I do that?

Thanks

When you move the water dish....do the critter kinda jump about.....if you blow on them do they jump/flick about?

Likely they are springtails....annoying to humans but useful to help create healthy soil/substrate....add some pill bugs to the enclosure and nightcrawlers to the moisten areas...these things will help to balance the populations of the springtail.....
