Default Springtails

I have a couple of questions about Springtails...

1. Will Dart Frogs eat them?
2. Are they difficult to culture?
3. What do I feed the culture and will they eat my live terrarium plants?
4. Can they hop or will they just crawl around?

Thanks in advance!

1. Yes they love them
2. Easiest culture I have
3. Tupperware, filled with orchid charcoal, then 1" of water in the bottom. Feed them fish flasks, ground up dry mushrooms, oatmeal, and/or brewers yeast. No they dont eat anything live. They eat mold and decaying matter.
4. They hop a little bit, not a big deal though.

...and when you want to put them into your viv, all you do is tilt the tupperware until the water starts to flow out. They float so you will see them jump into your tank.
