They can't live on soil nutrients in soil where there are no nutrients, which is where they evolved
This makes me wonder: if you give them nicer soil than they evolved in, can they still use those nutrients instead, or do they require insects to survive now?
nope, it kills them because they cant handle all the extra stuff
