Tenny White Bugs

[tortguy521]

Hi i found all of these tenny white bugs in the mulch in my redfoots enclosure does anyone els have this problem? and how do i treat it i read on another thread about someone who had the same problems and he said that ladybugs eat these little white bugs so can i just get a few ladybugs to put in or are the lady bugs toxic to the redfoots if they were to eat them. or should i just change the mulch.

thanks

They don't bother the Tortoises one bit...........They also help break down waste and are part of keeping the substrate from going "sour"

I don't use mulch for my Cherryhead I just use moss. I've never seen the white bugs sorry.
