Long story short I got into isopods because I thought they were really cool about a month ago.

Now during that time I also assumed I needed springtails so I could seed my isopod cultures with them and mealworms to supplement the isopods protien needs.

Fast forward and now I have the following(Apparently a isopod addiction as well lol).

10+ species of Isopods(will be adding more)
2+ species of Springtails
250k+ mealworms

Just gauging if there is any interest for these and taking any recommendation on how to lighten my load.

Don't know how receptive they'll be, but you could always try talking to your local pet shops about selling to them. Remember that they likely have distributor sources for these items at low cost, so you'll have to be competitive in your pricing and offer something their distributors do not, like same day or next day delivery at no extra charge for example.

For the mealworms, you might also hit up any local bait and tackle or outdoors/sporting goods shops to see if they'd buy some to sell as fish bait.

Good luck!

This is solid advice. Also might consider trying some "bio starter kit" type thing, as bio's are all the rage now.

Depending on where you live you could try selling them on Craigslist. I was able to unload roaches 5 or 6 times that way.
