Live Giant Orange Woodlice Reptile Food
Giant Orange Woodlice (Porcellio sp.) are one of the larger species of isopod commonly used as terrarium custodians or ‘clean-up crew’ and live and breed well in bio-active set- ups. As adults, they may attain a length of up to 18mm long, making them ideal for larger set ups. Giant Orange Woodlice are also useful as a livefood for many reptiles and amphibians and have the advantage of a high calcium content due to their calcarious exo-skeleton. If they are to be used as food, they are best served up in a smooth-sided dish in much the same way as mealworms or calci- worms. To thrive and become established in the terrarium, they need to be in a constantly damp and humid microclimate which normally means that they hide away for much of the time under branches, rocks or within the substrate. They are supplied in tubs as a starter culture of various sizes. 5ml of woodlice in each tub.
The woodlice don't necessarily need feeding if the enclosure is bioactive and contains plenty of waste for them to consume.
