Thanks to some of you guys' advice my isopods are doing really well! Lots of babies and they're all super active. I just wanted to share something strange I saw today...
One of my isopods is missing her antennae, and three pairs of front legs. She's been like this for a day, and can only walk backwards because of it. I'd love to know if anyone's seen something similar - maybe a stuck shed, or problems after moulting? She looks like a moonwalking t-rex lol.

probably that or she was attacked by another, iirc I heard somewhere around here in cramped conditions females are harassed by the males, dunno how true that is tho.

my pods would eat each other if they didnt get enough protein or space. but only some sp do it. p scabers and powder blues and oranges did it for me.
