Amazing shop..

I first ordered the substrate 12l and was given 2 free nice isopd decals and 3 lotus pods.this made it better as I had the isopds for the stickers. So I needed more substrate. Another 12ltrs this time I ordered an extra 5 lotus pods and was given another 3 extra and another. Nice isopod decal and yes I have this type to. So was more than pleased. Great customer service. And fast response time. Ile be putting in an order again next week. More sub and some new pods. Just need to make a few boxes first haha. Thanks guys and Rosie for putting up with all my questions and queries. Appreciate you.

100% Organic, Edible Isopod, Millipede, Beetle Substrate.

This is a handmade substrate that we have been using successfully for many years of keeping and breeding various types of isopods, millipedes, beetles and beetle larvae. We also use this substrate in many tropical bioactive enclosures for geckos, lizards and dart frogs as it has a very high nutrient content which is superb for growing plants.

This substrate is a blend of organic top soil, worm castings, horticultural charcoal, bat guano, milled oyster flour, shredded rotten hardwood and leaf litter from beech and oak trees and live mosses.

This substrate is nutrient dense with each of the components selected to benefit your little critters. This substrate works as a stable diet for your isopods and millipedes as well as providing coverage in your enclosures and as a planting medium in bioactive or live planted terrariums.

The Importance of Substrate for Isopods and Millipedes


Substrate is the key component for all detritivores. A rich substrate that is packed with organic matter is essential for raising isopods and millipedes. A high quality substrate is key for sustaining happy, well nourished and active millipedes and isopods. The substrate is also important for stimulating breeding behaviour.

Read our page on the importance of substrate for isopods and millipedes for some further information. We always try to promote the "Thrive, not survive" ethos here at The Bug Room. We believe that animals should be kept as close to their natural environment as possible, this allows you to see your animals most natural behaviours and lets the feel safe, secure and comfortable.
