Trichorhina tomentosa (Dwarf White Isopods)

Dwarf Whites are tiny (about 2–5 mm), reproduce very quickly through parthenogenesis (females reproduce without males), and spend much of their time burrowing in the substrate rather than on display. They are widely used as a clean-up crew for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate bioactive setups.

Care basics

• Temperature: roughly 20–29°C
• Humidity: generally 70–80%+
• Diet: leaf litter, decaying wood, fish flakes, vegetable scraps, and calcium sources such as cuttlebone.
