Today I was mixing water into the substrate and noticed really small bugs crawling around and a pincher bug too. Should I be worried. The bugs were really small, white and were jumping, I’ve never see any before I found them under the water dish and under the feeding stone. I think they are springtails but I’m not sure. Also I’ve never seen them on my tortoise but I’m worried they could go into the crevices of the tort.

Probably snuck in with your substrate. Include pictures to be sure but sound like springtails which are harmless unless you are decaying food and plants ie. leftovers
