Isopod Care
In preparation for my first isopods, I’d love to know how you keep your set ups and what works best! I have a 12x6 critter cage that I plan on keeping them in for the first few months so they can reproduce before I move them in to my 5’x2’ enclosure. I’ll be getting powder blues, powder oranges, and a powder mix.
Main questions:
1a. Do I need to keep heat pads on half of the enclosure?
1b. If I need a heat pad, would it be better to put it on the bottom or the side?
How much cork and leaf litter should there be?
Should I cover the majority of the holes in the critter cage lid with hvac tape to help keep humidity in?
How often should I feed them and what should I feed them?
How long should I leave them in the smaller enclosures before moving them to the 5’x2’?
If there’s anything else you think i should know please tell me! I really want to help them thrive!
As always, thank you in advance for all of the help!
