how fast do isopods procreate?

Dwarf whites?

A couple years ago I started off with around 200. A couple months ago I sold thousands which took a big toll on my culture but 2 months later there are thousands again. I find that the best food item is cucumber. They go crazy over it. And sense I started using it my culture has exploded.

Is this the same for all woodlice? My european woodlice culture is just starting with 40 woodies in it, how many would be in it in a month do you think?

I got two cultures of springtails from NEHERP and put them into the same container/culture with supplies also from NEHERP. There was question of whether the two cultures I purchased made it to me very well in the heat, so, since I didn't initially see many I didn't put any into my viv right away as I had intended. I checked it often and almost NEVER saw any springtails even when I moved the charcoal around for a long time. Then suddenly in the last week when I open it I see many. I would say it took a good 20 days or more to start booming.

Ah, ok im hoping mine will 'boom' soon as i can actually feed them to my frogs

i have 2 cultures of springtails coming, just going to dump one in the viv, and culture the other. my basement is starting to look like a bio lab.

I have some Armadillidium vulgare (fairly large species) I started culturing on a whim. It took maybe... four to five months for offspring to be born and begin reproducing, but original were all long dead at that point. My husbandry was a bit lacking at the start. >.>

After the second generation (~150) reproduced, though, the colony grew to easily the low thousands. Not a bad increase from the seven (I think?) individuals I collected last fall. Remember they don't have to be anywhere near full grown to reproduce, which helps a lot. I would imagine Porcellio scaber to be roughly similar to A. vulgare.

I use flakes for fish or turtle pills. They like that too.
Will to use cucumber as well.

I have European woodlice. Not sure have fast they reproduce, but my culture grow fast in 3-4 weeks.
