dwarf white isopods & springtails

[Phasmid]

what are isopods good for? are they food or are they the actual pet? i did a google search on them and it looks like some are parasitic. i know very little about them, but would like to learn more.

They help maintain cleanliness in cages as well as being food for some smaller species of animals.

I think all of the parasitic ones are aquatic ones that are parasites on fish. I use all kinds of the terrestrial isopods for food and clean up in vivariums. The dwarf ones are good for dart frogs, small frogs, and small salamanders. The larger ones are good for larger frogs and larger salamanders. I also use the larger ones for aquatic salamander food. About the only thing I feed the giant canyon ones to are my Laotriton laoensis.

I still have isopods and springtails available. I ship by priority and don't like to ship them when it gets real hot.
