Description

Dwarf White Isopods (Trichorhina tomentosa) are small, hardy isopods that make an excellent clean-up crew in bioactive vivariums, terrariums, and reptile or amphibian enclosures. They also serve as a supplemental food source for small reptiles and amphibians. Parthenogenic and fast-reproducing, Dwarf Whites thrive in both humid and semi-arid environments and spend most of their time burrowing through the soil — making them ideal for dart frog vivariums and tropical bioactive setups.

Best for: Bioactive vivariums, reptile and amphibian enclosures, dart frog tanks, beginner isopod keepers

Why IHEARTBUGS? We are a USDA and FDACS permitted facility with over a decade of experience raising healthy, thriving isopod colonies.

NOTE: They play dead quite often. When you receive them, they may look DOA, but give them a few hours to acclimate, and you will see they have moved.

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.
