Pill bugs, sow bugs, woodlice, roly-polies...you've all seen 'em...
Anyone have any victories in breeding colonies of these?
I read about it a little bit here: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=79030&st=0 -- they describe it as very low-maintenance, aside from providing water. Sounds like it might be the best route for breeding feeders for my recluses.
I'm thinking I'll harvest several from the wild and stick them in an enclosure with an airtight rubber lid, such as a casserole dish, with some bark, and keep it moist.
What I'm wondering, though, is how large of a colony I'll need in order to feed about 30 per week to my spiders. This might require a lot more effort.
So...anyone have experience with this or suggestions as to how I can create my own feeder farm?
