I’ve learned more about isopods in this video than all the years of playing with them. They were always a cool thing to have and play with as a kid. As an adult, I’ll still pick one up every once in awhile, and set it in my garden. Thanks for the informative video!

[@JingleJoe]

I used to keep isopods years ago and want to give you some advice; The baby isopods WILL be able to crawl through those little ventilation holes. They will breed all year round as long as it is warm. I suggest putting some metal or non-organic fine mesh over the vents with a circle of hot glue or some other glue, caulk or silicone. (i'd go for a builder's caulk!) the babies start as small as a full stop. They prefer rotting wood and leaves to potato :) although I found they LOVE carrots. Also I think one of those woodlice may not be porcellio scaber, looks like oniscus asellus, but i didn't get a close enough look to be certain. P.S. I had an albino woodlouse for a while, it was definitely not a baby or white species, it was a pure white porcellio scaber! Good luck with your colony, this is fantastic to see and I really really look forward to seeing how this progresses, love your videos, keep up the good work! :D

[@LifeinJars]

Thanks for the tips. Sounds like you had fun with them. They don't seem to be able to crawl up on the plastic. One's definitely a little different, I've noticed that one a few times. It might be Oniscus asellus, I'm not sure either.

[@JingleJoe]

@@LifeinJars I did have fun with them :) glad you got my message! the bigger ones can't crawl up smooth surfaces, but the tiny babies can. hope it all goes well for you! if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me, i am eager to help a fellow woodlouse-keeper :)

I had a colony once, I used the newly hatched babies as a treat for my fish. I had a food mix for them that they loved, it was very open to mold which they enjoy. And ofcourse I had water tubes hidden in rocks for them.

[@cheezegod928]

The water looked and smelled like tea which isn’t very surprising but I was surprised

So many awesome KZbinrs are also - alas - pretty much the same in their disposition... fun, positive, energetic, and well-edited in the same way. This guy is quite unique in how he conveys his thoughts and he inspires me to not be like most every other KZbinr out there. Also, his humor is top-notch :D

I'm really glad youtube randomly suggested your channel to me a few years back. I like your content.

[@LifeinJars]

Thanks glad you're here

[@dylanwhitmer5325]

Just commenting to say I've only recently (yesterday) stumbled across your channel, and I'm so glad I did! It's like the most relaxing, soothing yet entertaining form of content I've found. Great work, I am addicted to your videos, and can't wait to follow your growth (and the growth of all your ecosystems!!!)

[@LifeinJars]

That's nice to hear. Thanks for watching.

“But you’re not here for an existential crisis, you’re here for isopods” best description of my relationship with the game Hollow Knight that I’ve ever heard

[@firecatinblack]

Relatable. I actually clicked because I thought of quirrel lmao

[@livin4life]

When I was child I was playing with these 35 years ago my dad called them "poop bugs". I will never forget the good times, lol.

[@meangreanbean]

"what's the point of life?" I love your channel

[@frgproductions6165]

y'know, I'm not a huge fan of bugs and I'm certainly not planning on making an isopod colony, but I can say one thing: This video is a true masterpiece. I even saved it into my ¨favorites¨ tab. There is just something very endearing in the occasional nihilistic comments and jokes. Top tier comedy.

[@wormcollects]

[@MarksmanMon0]

Hey! i recently started an ecosphere from a Canadian lake and its really taken off! lots of hydras and Cyclopses, and even some daphnia alongside nematodes, even the plants have taken off. you're a huge inspiration man thanks for all your vids

[@LifeinJars]

That's really cool I hope you’ll keep enjoying it.

[@pamelasalas7662]

Can you explain to me how you did it? I have a two year old who likes watching things😅 we have a fish tank and loves watching fishes move around it would be so fun to teach him and start one together

[@hadrian.2796]

This is now my objective in life whatever goals i had before this video dont matter i need a isapod terrarium

[@LifeinJars]

Go out there and make one

[@satrethuel_productions]

I had no clue who I was watching this, but I have no regrets after watching this legendary video.

[@jordanolson11]

lmao, "I AM ALSO A HUMAN" said the creature behind the camera claiming to be human.
