Hey

Yes, I do with all mine.
They make a huge difference
In a 4 foot, try to get hold of a tropical woodlouse culture (online) they'll breed like rabbits and you'll have plenty.
Again, order worms online - it's safer

I did when i had my snails the woodlice breed like wildfire the worms seem to breed quite well as well, They mad a slight difference but I think springtails made the biggest difference. I wouldn't recommend using them straight from the garden the ones used in snail tanks are tropical woodlice. x
