Isopods

[BG]

I was thinking to get some for my whites but what about my African's and packs that live in plastic containers do the isopods climb the walls

I agree with John in that the woodlice wouldnt be able to keep on top of the whites waste - they do fine for darts but they produce considerably less volume lol
The dwarf tropical whites tend to be pretty invisisble but do breed well. I have found the orange rough woodlice much more active on the surface and also much bigger although their care is identical. A good mixture of woodlice and springtails is always good to keep mould and some of the waste down (I seed all my phib vivs with custodians) but they are too small to be food items for a large white tho.

I definitely agree with Mike here. I have never handled isopods or wood-lice before personally but I have seen lots of videos online and have come to the conclusion that they are WAY too small to act as a food item for White's. As the frog grow they probably won't even be able to see the things. They do get to about 5 inches sometimes. XD; (The frogs.)

Thanks everyone! Since I only have Whites, looks like the tweezers will continue to be my custodial tool!
