Description

Caret Down

Great beginner isopod.  P. laevis "Dairy Cow" is a crowd-favorite isopod, and one of the isopods we recommend for beginners.  They are a larger white isopod with black speckles.  Laevis Dairy Cows are very active, easy to keep, and reproduce quickly.  They are heavy-duty cleaning isopods who LOVE protein.  Dairy Cows are provided cuttlebone for calcium, and they eagerly consume veggie scraps, fish food flakes, and dried fish/shrimp.   Dairy Cow isopods are kept the same as other common isopods.  Please see our blog and YouTube channel for care information.

*DOES NOT SHIP TO LOUISIANA

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.

A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.

Skill level:  Beginner isopod

Humidity:  Tolerates humid and arid environments

Breeding:  Fast breeder that breeds easily

Live animal flat-rate USPS 2-3 Day Priority Mail shipping is $18. Live arrival guarantee with USPS if your temperature is 45F to 80F. If your temperature is outside this range, request hold for pick up in the text box above the add to cart button by typing the word HOLD.

All shipping options include an insulated box, medical grade temperature control pack,.

We ship Monday through Wednesday only to minimize the risk of the live animals being delayed in possible harsh weather conditions over the weekend. Depending on the current temperatures, shipping may occur on Saturday so the isopods/springtails travel during ideal weather conditions.

*For USPS, if your temperature is under 45F or above 80F, the box must be held for pick up at your local hub or post office for the live arrival guarantee.  Even if you will be home to receive the package, these are live animals and they cannot survive extreme temperatures in a hot or cold delivery vehicle all day.  If your temps are below 40F, it is unsafe to ship live animals, and the animals will not be shipped until the temperature is above 40F in your area. Live arrival guaranteed for the count purchased.  It does not include any extras that may be sent.  Please read full shipping policy.

Cows, cows and more cows!

We ordered a colony with 20 in it and we counted 31 when we put them in, all healthy plump cute little guys. My son was thrilled!

Love these dudes! They were in great health when I received them and their packaging was awesome as well! Definitely recommend buying from here vs buying from a big box office store. You can tell how much the owner of this shop loves these little creatures. The items chosen to house them in their travels were thought out and of higher quality. Can't say enough good things! Definitely going to continue buying from here.
