For food I give them fresh fruit and vege and I replace the food every three days and I just let them get on with it. They will need about a 20cm square container and stuff to climb on so the floor doesn't get crowded, sticks are good for this. After 2 weeks they will be going strong and if you do anything wrong it won't really matter as they are hardy critters. Hope this helps if you don't understand anything I'll explain it better if I can.
I put in two types of lettuce and such. I only got apples at my house. I don't like apples so I can take bits of em in there. As for water, do they need a freshwater supply? I think I got in a mix of pillbugs and roley poleys. Both look similar--- but are not the same. I think there's like 10-12 in total of woodlice. My terrarium they're in is a kritter keeper that is long. like 8-9inch longx 6-7inch wide, 4-5inch tall. I forget exact measurements. Is this good enough? I wonder if adult woodlice be good enough to be a staple diet for adult toads. I'm thinking of mixing it up. Worms, lice, and crickets. But not so much crickets. Also moths, and mealworms, waxworms whenever I get em.

I'm hoping to get a culture of roaches eventually. Though Iam not a fan of them.....
