Intended for suitable bioactive clean-up crews or as part of an appropriate live-food rotation. Contents can vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdentification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOniscidea is the scientific name of the terrestrial-isopod suborder, not a confirmed species. The supplier does not identify the species or guarantee a particular morph mix, so this pack must not be sold as a named pure-species breeding colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHousing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor temporary holding or a starter culture, use a secure, ventilated tub around 20 × 15 cm or larger. Add leaf-rich substrate, decaying hardwood and cork bark. Keep a moss-covered damp refuge at one end and a drier zone at the other. Fine ventilation prevents small individuals escaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTemperature \u0026amp; Moisture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs interim holding guidance, use a stable room temperature around 20–24°C and keep the damp refuge from drying out. Avoid overheating and waterlogging. These are starting conditions for an unidentified mix, not a species-specific breeding prescription. Confirm contents before adding to a habitat with unusual heat or humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupply dry hardwood leaf litter and decayed wood continuously, with cuttlebone for calcium. Offer tiny portions of vegetables and occasional fish flake; remove fresh leftovers within 24 hours. They need food while held as feeders too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBioactive Use \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce beneath cork or leaves near a damp refuge and allow the group to settle. Spot-clean the main animal’s waste and monitor food and moisture; isopods do not replace routine hygiene. Avoid placing unidentified mixed isopods with vulnerable moulting tarantulas. If used as food, choose individuals sized to the predator and use them within a varied diet. Keep a separate culture when possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Well Fed Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55250287755591,"sku":"1142010","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/files\/MixedIsopods_Approx.20Pack.jpg?v=1790972802","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/products\/isopod-mixed-prepack","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
