How to start your own Wild Isopod culture

[@elfriedapack6347]

I have a huge culture of isopods currently. It might have taken me some time but it's worth it when you start seeing mancae from them is the biggest reward

[@BigRedsIsopods]

I couldn’t agree more it’s so rewarding 😁

This is a great video! Lovely music, cute isopods and educational too! Definitely will be subbing to this channel, just starting my own colony this will be very useful :)

I love the video❤Keep it up

[@KaneBoyd]

A good idea it to place down a small square of carpet after it rains, I allows find a lot of isopods that way.

[@spencerthedino3766]

I always drop my isopods like that on accident XD

Hi Big Red..do isopods hibernate..cant seem to find any at this time. Its November !

[@lilpig9959]

Little late, but yes in some places isopods will burrow down in thick leaf litter to keep warm in winter and under logs and brush when snow

[@themantisgarden]

:o so many millipedes. I would have had them as well lol

[@BigRedsIsopods]

Maybe I should start a millipede culture some time

[@themantisgarden]

@@BigRedsIsopods I keep native millipedes here in the UK, have done for 20 years or so. Great little creatures.

Is it ok if I have a rather medium sized beetle that I found in the terrarium? I just found it and well I can’t exactly put him anywhere else no tubs no extras terrarium no nothing else what should I do they seem ok with eachother one eats dirt the other 2 are eating a carrot

[@BigRedsIsopods]

Shouldn’t hurt the isopods

[@Silentstillwater]

@@BigRedsIsopods ok thanks!

[@michelleniedfeldt68]

I had only two isopods, two different species. There are now babies

[@contentinternational]

any idea what species? I'm in a similar situation

[@michelleniedfeldt68]

According to a FB isopod page, someone said this. I agree with a nasatum on the first but the second it's an Armadillidium vulgare for sure, I find em all over my yard here but the exact morph I'm unsure of.

[@contentinternational]

@@michelleniedfeldt68 interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@MIsopods]

what kind of camera do you use?

[@dipp_osman]

How do you feed them?

[@Daniele63]

Dead leaves, fish food and vegetables (wash the pesticides off)
