Woodlice - Culturing - How to...

[DigitalPunk]

Thanks for the post and for sharing! I culture Isopods as well, though our methods vary a bit, but the frogs just love them that is for sure. I like to add in some extras at night while the frogs are sleeping so I can get a colony build up in the Vivarium to help my Springtails out with cleaning

I did the same, but seems my frog ate them all

Good "How - to" When collecting Isopods/Woodlice from the wild make sure they as well as your materials are as close to sterile as you can get them ie: heating substrate and materials to destroy invaders. If you see Woodlice that are discolored (Bluish for example) do not collect those. Make sure Isopods/ Woodlice are free from mites. Feeding a variety of decomposing food is key to production, give them some eggshell every so often for calcium and the occasional dead cricket.. Isopods/Woodlice & Springtails are great feeders as well as part of an effective Cleaner Crew for frog enclosures.

How does your method vary ?
