Description

Caret Down

Captive-bred isopods love freeze-dried peas!  Simply crush a pea or two with your fingers and sprinkle the "pea dust" on the dry side of the enclosure.  They will swarm the peas.  100% all natural freeze-dried peas.

Peas are a supplemental food.  If there is food remaining after 48 hours, too much food was provided.  Always make sure the isopods have a lot of leaf litter and decaying wood as those items are their main source of nutrition.

Available in a 1-pound bag and a 2-pound bag.

NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

For a thriving isopod colony, provide a one- to two-inch layer of thin leaf litter, such as maple and cottonwood leaves, provide a source of calcium such as calcium carbonate (included in Isopod Feast), cuttlebone, or crushed eggshells, and mist the damp side of the bin as necessary so the bin does not dry out.  How often you need to mist is going to be dependent on your climate.  Treats such as Isopod Feast, bee pollen, freeze-dried peas, vegetables (carrots, squash, pumpkin), and dried protein (dried minnows, fly larvae, fish food flakes, etc.) can be provided in very small amounts once a week.  Do not overfeed treats as it encourages gnats, mold, and other pests.

Ships free with live animal purchases.
