First bred in the UK by me in 2023 originally from a group of 10, I can finally offer surplus offspring in small quantities. As these are VERY slow breeders, surplus stock from my captive breeding programme will be available infrequently.
The listing is for 1x animal, of a highly sought-after of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is well-known for its large size and purple colour.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from South East Asia. When a group is purchased, the isopods sent will be an assorted mixture of ages and sizes, to ensure a good start to a breeding colony.
The isopods feed on a variety of forest materials such as decaying wood and leaf litter. Additional supplements such as calcium (limestone/cuttlefish bone) and fish food should be offered as part of their balanced diet.
