When I first received this species I noticed a lot of people struggling with their husbandry and care.
This made me slightly paranoid since they are not a cheap isopod to add to my collection.
Having them for a few months now, I have been very successful with having them thrive and even producing offspring. I thought I would share how I have been keeping them so that any new keeper or current keeper can compare notes.
I will share images of their enclosure as well.
I’ve been keeping 10 adults in a critter keeper style enclosure so it has plenty of ventilation.
They’re on DRY cocofiber with a corner of the enclosure having some damp sphagnum moss.
On the top I keep several pieces of large bark for them to hide under.
I give them loose leafy greens once a week and remove any molding food.
As always, there are springtails in the enclosure.
