Culture of Porcellio Scaber “Lava” isopods. These cultures come with a minimum of 10 isopods usually more of varying ages. They are a great cleanup crew and neat because they can range from fully grey to fully red or anywhere in between! These are active isopods!
Isopods will need an enclosure with a soil based substrate mixed with decaying wood, sphagnum moss, leaf litter and calcium chunks or eggshells. One side of the enclosure should stay pretty damp by placing about ¼ of the enclosure with sphagnum moss that you will need to mist regularly to help them regulate and breath. The other side should be drier to create the microclimates they want to live in.
They primarily eat decaying leaves and woot rot. I typically use magnolia, maple, and oak leaves but will use others as well. In addition I feed all my isopods Repashy Morning Wood supplement, fish flakes, freeze dried minnows, freeze dried peas, cuttlebone, oyster shell, veggies such as carrots and zucchini. A balanced and diverse diet is always helpful!
