Porcellio Laevis "Orange" Isopods

Porcellio Laevis "Orange" Isopods

The ultimate terrarium or vivarium janitor. These isopods make an excellent addition to many bioactive set ups due to their extremely high appetites and astonishingly fast rate of reproduction. 

These isopods do well at average UK room temperatures (around 20°C). They enjoy a nice moisture gradient, general guidance would be to keep 1/3 of the enclosure moist. They enjoy a variety of foods such as washed and peeled vegetable scraps, though the stable of their diet should be leaf litter and rotten hardwoods. Ensure they have access to a good source of calcium, we would recommend either cuttlebone, eggshells or oyster shells.

Porcellio Laevis "Orange" isopods are extremely prolific and are great for beginners or adding into a terrarium for a clean up crew. 

Please note: All isopods are captive bred by us here at The Bug Room. We will always send a mix of sizes to maximise the success of your colony.
