Zebra Isopods

Columbus OH

Description

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. Zebra isopods are one of the most recognizable and charismatic isopod species. They get their name from the distinctive coloration (black with white bands) but their bold behavior where they frequently are active on the surface congregating on wood or plants is why they are a favorite of most hobbyists. They are a great addition to a terrarium as the star, but their surface activity makes them less ideal to keep as a clean-up crew with insect eating reptiles/amphibians. Zebras are hardy and an excellent choice for a first time hobbyist. 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! These guys are all locally / captive bred. 15 Isopods for $25. Let me know if you have any questions!!!
