I am now on holiday, taking a well-earned rest

The Monday bank holidays have caused chaos with my posting and this will continue when I return from holiday. If you place an order now, please be aware that your order will be sent towards the end of the month. I have the usual multitude of helpers looking after the animals, house and gardens but the paperwork is all on me, I will make a start when I return on May 20^th.

Common Name: Rainbow Isopod
Scientific Name : Porcellio scaber Lava

Size : Medium/large x 3
Status: Captive bred

Food : Leaf litter, rotten wood, fruit & veg (scavengers - will eat organic waste)

These woodlice are very variable in colour, hence the name. They do very well in warm humid tanks, vivariums and enclosures and can multiply quite rapidly to become super cleaners in your bio-active set-up. Adult size approx.1cm.

How I keep mine

I keep my Isopods in a plastic box with peat/coir on the base and a layer of leaf litter, plus rotten wood on top. I add the occasional small piece of fruit & veg. The box should be kept moist. They are housed in my warm bug room but I do not use a heat mat for them.
