Mini speckled woodlice (Armadillidium peraccae, Length 3–5mm) are a mixed-size starter colony for bio-active enclosures and a calcium-rich live food for reptiles and amphibians. Each tub is a 1.25ml scoop (a quarter teaspoon) taken from our breeding colony, so the number of woodlice depends on the mix of juveniles and adults in it. Because the scoop includes breeding adults alongside young, the colony can start producing offspring sooner than a tub of same-size juveniles.
• Mixed sizes, including breeding adults, to establish a colony quickly
• Clean-up crew that breaks down waste and decaying matter
• Calcium-rich exoskeleton adds variety to insectivore diets
• Small species suited to smaller enclosures
Keep part of the substrate constantly damp, with leaf litter and cover such as bark or cork, as isopods need a humid microclimate to thrive and breed. If using them as food, offer them in a smooth-sided dish so they cannot escape into the substrate.
Pack Size / Length: 1.25ml scoop of mixed sizes, about a quarter teaspoon, Length 3–5mm
