Description

Dairy Cow Isopods (Porchellio laevis) Looking for a fun, easy invertebrate pet? Easy low maintenance pet for a kid? Isopods (aka Rolly Pollies or Curl-Up Bugs) are fun animals to keep. They are a great addition to a terrarium or bioactive vivarium as a clean-up crew. They clean up food scraps and droppings from other terrarium inhabitants (like hissing cockroaches, reptiles, or amphibians). Dairy cows (named for their adorable black & white spots) are an excellent choice for a first time hobbyist. They breed fast & are really hardy. Set-up is easy - just a plastic box with a mix of organic compost, hardwood pellets, moss, & dried leaf litter and they’ll take off! When set up correctly you’ll only need to feed once or twice weekly and mist occasionally. Since they are detritivores (little composting machines) you almost never need to clean out their enclosures. Think yearly or less!! Seriously, they couldn’t be simpler. A great choice for a kids pet or science project! Already keep exotic pets? Because they breed readily and have a high calcium content, they can also be a good supplement for medium sized reptiles and amphibians. Start a colony now & reap the benefits for years. They are all locally grown / captive bred. 20 Isopods for $25. Let me know if you have any questions! Pickup in Westerville near Africa Rd. & Polaris Pky. Text preferred .
