Description

Natural dried cabbage roots are the product of the Brassica oleracea plants found across tropical Asia. These dried roots are great additions to natural bioactive enclosures, vivariums, and isopod enclosures. The roots are hollow, woody, and sturdy and isopods and springtails enjoy the roots as hides and they consume them as well. Birds and small animals like rabbits and chinchillas also love the enrichment the roots provide.
