Thanks so much for watching everyone! As promised- for me, the most peculiar/unusual thing I've found my isopods enjoy eating is dried kelp! I cut it into little bits and they seem to really like it! Here's a link: amzn.to/3aQDnre
Don't forget to share what your pods like in the comment section down below!
Reptiliatus bro..whene i saw you view bout this isopod its make me appreciate this creature. easy too find 25 years ago...now i didn't see it anymore. i guess they extinct bro...sadly.
BUNGAI NUING CHANNEL about which? :)
Reptiliatus isopod
Ohh Where in Ontario do you live? I just got into Isopods after leaving the Aquarium hobby, i used to have a fishroom breeding Shrimps and Show Guppies. Are you selling any stock?
I have a crested gecko and I put some isopods in with her they were a bigger kind I'm not sure exactly but they all died do I have to feed them?
Yes you should defiantly do some videos about isolating variations in a species 😀great video as always
Yes I would really like a vid on that. I'm new to breeding morphs. I'm kind of confused on how to backcross and it would be great if he makes a vid on isolating variations.
Yea please!
Haha, the music with the two zebras 😂😂
Hahaha 😜
I don’t think it’s“weird” but I’ve found my a. Nasatums love eating snake sheds my zebras not as much and I’ve also fed pre killed mealworms which my isopods enjoy I think it would be really cool if you tried to isolate certain traits that would be a cool video
I’ve heard lots of people say they give their isopods snake shedding! Def makes the cut for unusual! I’ve seen videos of isopods taking down live mealworms, it was pretty intense! Okay awesome, I’ll definitely do that then! Thanks so much for sharing/watching!
Yes, it’s a good way to start a culture with beginner food mixed in the substrate
I have a TON of magnolia tree leaves and seedpods in my yard. I currently have three different armadillidium cultures growing, and they all looove the seedpods. They act as great food sources and hiding spots!
Seaweed for sushi. My isopods got very excited
Nice vid!! I appreciate the thoroughness of the care of these cool critters!
I'm a fish breeder who also happens to keep Isopods. I actually take all of the fry that I cull and feed them off to my Isopod colonies. They love it and I have noticed they explode in population once I add fresh fish for t hem to enjoy.
Oh my god this is genius! Now I know what to do with my guppy culls and white cloud culls
Thank you for the video. Mine love fish food flakes and squash oh and dried shrimp. Stay safe
Such a fantastic video! So interesting! I love seeing & hearing about all the different species & morphs! I love my isopods x they are awesome creatures! I love how caring you are towards them 🥰 Thank you 😘
Hey, I've decided to try my hand at keeping some isopods. I've been binge watching your isopod videos to learn as much as I can about them. Thank you so much for these videos. I've learned a great deal from you. :)
I love all your long videos. I enjoy every single video you have. You're very informative and you explain things in a way that even people that aren't familiar with these subjects could understand. Right now I only have four different types of isopods I use them in my snaking closures as of course clean up crew but I really want to make enclosures just to show isopods off. I just love these little guys. and I'm definitely jealous of some of the types you have. 😍😍🙂
From watching your videos you have made me invest in dried fish, I'm sure my animals will thank you gratefully. Great videos as always! I always seem to learn something new no matter what
Wow so many different kinds. I have 5 kinds so far.
Your voice is very soothing; I sometimes put videos like this on to fall asleep to; a soothing voice, calm and steady video, and an interesting topic that I can focus on to quiet my brain without needing to deeply focus can be perfect for drifting off to sleep. It’s definitely a compliment. 😊
Wow I’m so flattered you find my voice so soothing and helpful! Happy to help 😅!
They are adorable. I especially like those big ones
OMG! This is the best isopod video and you are such a great isopod dad!!! You saved a springtail! My isopods go crazy over my crested gecko’s skin shed. Devours it fast!!
I keep springtails with my Isopods so that on the rare occasion that I get mould they clean it up straight away ☺️. I don’t know if it’s safe for them but I always put my snakes shed in so they can chomp on it
Wundervoll!
I love these videos! I DO binge watch and fall asleep to them! 😂
I bought the dry fish you recommended ina previous video and boy do they love it. They fully consume them and favor it over the cuttlebone for calcium.
Wow, I love these crusteceans, like.
i want isopods so bad. they are soo cool
This is........ SOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!
This is a very awesome video i love the whole thingi do plan to add on to my isopods collection 4 sure☺☺
We don’t have one yet! We need to get some outside when the weather get’s better lol thanks for sharing once again!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Your advice helps us to better care for our own growing collection of critters.
In response to the inquiry about diet, I find that cucumber, fish flakes, and fresh spinach disappear the fastest in my isopod cultures. My Dubia Roaches have the same favorites. I give them a salad of sweet potato, apple, carrot, spinach, and sometimes squash. I place the proteins- like fish flakes or dried shrimp- in the driest areas where the cuddle bone is located so it keeps better until eaten. Several tropical fish foods claim to be “color-enhancing” - especially those for Betas. If it is a valid claim, I thought this could be a beneficial, (and experimental), addition to the diet of our more color-rich Isopods- like clowns or oranges. Regardless of whether it has helped enrich the color of our pets, they simply love carrying away bits of beta flakes and it quickly disappears!
I like the impressive list of ingredients in Repashy products and have used several Repashy products to gut load feeder insects. I haven’t used with my isopods yet, but might.
I cure my own leaf litter and magnolia pods are a huge favorite. Sometimes the pods with my powder orange isopods are so popular they end up looking like Creamsicles!
Again, thank you for your informative and family-friendly videos!
I love these isopod videos 😍 very much 😍 one kind of weird thing my isopod like, is a biscuit called digestive. It’s a very sweet biscuit. It’s not something I normally feed them it was just a couple of times around christmas. But they really loved it 😀
You know those egg yolk noodles? I gave them that and oatmeal pieces. I had healthy amount of springtails that would LOVE the oatmeal. I also had a small plastic dish I'd place in two places, and they loved that. Awesome creatures! Have started with 6 Armidillium species and you have helped with that! Thanks so much ❤
Besides the bee pollen, I will give them moss that’s growing on bark or rocks.
I just got my first isopods! I got cubaris murina and they are absolutely adorable and I love them
Amazing!
When I spot clean my snails and slugs I throw the waste into my Isopod and pill millipede colonies and what can I say they seem to love it.
That’s a super good idea! Not much different then worm castings really and isopods love those! Thanks for sharing!
The way they eat looks pretty coot :0
Indeed!
Ughhh so jealous please send me some isopods for my new bioactive enclosure. Fyi love your vids
ずっとみてられる…
thanks for information bro
Your video is so nice and beautiful !! 당신의 영상은 너무나 멋지고 아름답네요
Great video, I love the layout of your terrariums! And to answer your question : my isopods really like my nail clippings :s
Thanks for watching! Hahah omgsh! That’s hilariously, grossly, resourceful! I mean, totally makes sense! Thanks for watching/sharing!
I love these videos. Can you do isopod species specific care videos?
I know you have some but magic potion, grantulanum and officionalis?
Keep up the good videos
Josh Lyon i really haven’t done these yet and I need to! I’ll def look into that! Thanks so much for watching!
@@Reptiliatus I started colonising isopods about 3 months ago. My P. Laevis are doing great and breeding etc but my other species Granulatum, Maculatum, officionalis have just been surviving and not breeding. There is too much conflicting information online and yours seem to thrive so would like to see what you're doing and doing correctly
As I am watching your video I caught my orange p.Laevis doing the do right before you caught your zebras. Like multiples. I guess they really liked it when I added the repashy in there. xD
Nice collection bro. Really glad I found your channel. Where did you find those containers for the isopods? I need a few for my dairy cows
those spotted maculatums are so cool :) id love to see if you could isolate that :-D
This is late so I don't expect you to worry bout responding haha, (Gross warning) but my 3 year old nephew proceeded to pic a big scab off walk over open my inclosure and toss it in. He then told us they love scabs and buggers and that he feeds them for me every visit. And they do indeed love it and its mortifying ROFL.
My Laevis enjoy sheds from my tegu and I’ve seen my armadillidium species like nano lotus pods that I normally use as black water botanicals
I just fed powder blues some appile last week
Bur Oak Caps. They are concave, and the eat them up.
Also how would someone reach out to you for acquiring isopods?
Hi man,
Thanks for keeping up the great work through these times. As a young kind of entomologist I found a couple of these amazing ones in the backyard. Not sure on the species but they’re solid grey. I live in toronto so not any exotic species. Love the collection!
Ewan
Thanks for the love! I would have to see a photo to help ID it :)
It’s one of the armadillidium species. And any time. Sadly they passed away. The weather was nice but then it snowed a bit and got too cold. Later in the year should be better.
Armadillidium vulgare
The p laevis wild type is endemic here to where I live in Florida.
I don't think you can qualify cucomber as a weird food, but the ones I caught in my garden really enjoys that.
No, no, it’s great to share! Thanks very much for sharing/watching!
@@Reptiliatus I find invertebrates quite intresting. I was looking into some species of isopods, but I think some of the more nice species, is also quite expensive. I found a company located in germany (I live in denmark), which sells lots of different species of invertebrates. Then I found a millipede species (Spirostreptus spec. 1 “Tanzania”) that was very inexpensive. I've been wanting millipedes for a while, so very impulsive, I ordered 5 of those, just now.
Nicklas Dupont very exciting! I hope they do awesome for you!
How would you deal with gnats in isopod setup?
Its probably normal since its plant based, but i once put unbleached brown paper shred into the isopod culture and they chomped it down, but i only do that with my wild caught pet colony. I think i did that to aerate their substrate (This was like two years ago,and i was dumb).
Where do you get all of these variations of isopods? It would be great to know.
Do you keep a small piece of cuttlebone in each enclosure?
i tried pumpkin they love it but the problem is ants coming into the closure and it is so annoying i hv to clean it up. i want to ask question. is it okay to mix species bc i dont want to have to many closure so i mix my porcellio hoffmanseggi x3 bolivari x3 and magnificus in one closure
What minnows treats do you buy
how easy it is to breed the p. wernerii?
I usually feed my isopods baby carrots and freeze dried shrimp from omega one
Can you do a more care video on the armadillidium kluggi montenegro those are my favorites and I'm running into some problems I really need help with them if you don't mind
How long do zebra Isopoda live for. And is room temperature ok
Funny, I use freeze dried fish (technically a cat treat) but they seems to like the fish more than anything else that I offer them. As long as the setup is not to humid the fish won’t get moist and spoil.
How do you setup your isopods give tutorial plz🙏
I'm going to start keeping some local species, I'm in Ontario. What are some things I should have in the enclosure? I'm getting leaf litter, bark and some natural substrate. Do I need anything else? Also I've got the notification bell turned on if that means anything to you :).
How come you don’t remove the mold? As well as the remains of the food/skeletons they didn’t eat? Is it because they will break down and add to the substrate or the isopod will finish it off?
If a guy was getting interested in collecting isopods but wasn'tsegregating the different species would it be okay to turn them all loose into a single large bed? Could some of them hybrid?
Can I get more info on the ones you are talking about 23 mins in I have yet to see those anywhere and I am interested in knowing more... Just getting into isopods and already addicted
My Hippo isopods loved the fully mature leaves that fell off my Mother of Thousands plants so I put it in there terrarium, I think it provided them with both water and energy and maybe gets isopods a little buzzed or something because its supposed to be toxic but the hippo isopods will engourge themselves on mother of thousands leaves.
I let mine have budgie food, whenever my birds throw pellets on the floor I give the tiny pellets to my isopods and they LOVE them!! (I use vegetable based bird foods)
Neat idea! Thanks for sharing!
@@Reptiliatus you’re welcome, I sometimes have to soak the pellets in water for my little dwarf whites but my vulgare’s take the pellets dry just fine and run off with them
I don't have any isopods but i just bought my first Bearded dragon 2 days ago he/she is a beautiful dragon feeding it mixed with dried meal worms and crickets,grasshoppers with calcium in it
Thanks for sharing and congrats on your beardie! They make amazing pets, you are going to absolutely love them!
Are your dwarf whites on the top of your enclosures and bleeding down?
How do you keep fruit flies out of your isopod containers??? I've noticed recently theres a bunch in mine
Great video as always!!
Put in a finer mesh
Can I use any isopods as a cleaning crew for my crested geckos.
Is the potatoe boiled or raw?
What can u do if they get mould issues like the one who looked like he was moulting is he ok I have one that lookes the same what can I do for him or is he gonna die
I try to regulate it with proper/adequate ventilation and a healthy clean up crew of spring tails in every culture bin :). Thanks for watching!
Great video. Weirdest thing- crested gecko diet. Uneaten food in dishes is easily collected then quickly ground.
Heyy!! Any updates on your isopods?! I'm just now getting into them an Really enjoyed this video! Where did you get your ones that started your colonies??
Congrats! I have sort of put my isopods on the back burner for now as far as content goes, I'm sorry! I would like to do an update sometime but I am keeping a lot less of them than I used to :(.
Can we get a 2022 isopod update?
is just cuttle bone and apple okay for them if I have no leaf litter at the moment?
They need protein as well so try and get some fish food or something but small bits of apple and cuttlefish is great as part of the diet :)
Separating isopod variations and breeding them sounds absolutely great, but then again anything you upload is great. When is your new animal coming? Also I have to mention, here in south africa porcellio Laevis has naturalised and the wild ones come in a crap load of colours: white, reddish, brown, orange, grey, yellowish, its weird.
Tristan Simpson thanks for suggesting! Hahaha you shall see 😉...
Wow super neat! Lucky you guys!
Du schon wieder 😎
Good to know you can give them dried fish. How about dried shrimp?
A friend of mine sometimes uses hair as feeder😂
My powder blues P.p like collard greens
I thought the spring tails ate the mold from the fruit? Or the big sheets of mold??
Mike Hunt they eat mold. Wherever it grows, they are ready for action :)
how do you get started with isopods? most i've seen for sale are really expensive! which species do you recommend to start and where can i get them?
I'd recommend searching for isopods for sale wherever you are from and go from there. I'd recommend dairy cow isopods (Porcellio laevis) as good beginner pods.
@@Reptiliatus I actually bought those last night! I'm really excited and I can't wait to get them. Would a smaller container be okay for a starter colony of 12? Not sure how long it will be until I can go and purchase a bigger tub. thanks for the help!
So how did the cultures with the invader dwarf whites work out? Did they outcompete the purposeful species?
how much money do you spend on the animals per day ??? ( food etc.)
Hey I have a question. I saw one of my isopods walking, and its rear side was sorta crunched down and it walked slow. Just wondering if I should be worried???
It may have been crushed by a heavy piece of wood or the others may have interfered with it during shedding. As long as it's an isolated incident and this doesn't happen normally I think it's ok? But I doubt the little fellas can survive for long after sustaining an injury like that
@@pricklypear1704 thanks. It could've been that. Very likely. The little guy seems better now. He has been acting normally. Thanks!!!
@@pricklypear1704 I'm always afraid of them getting hurt by a log.
@@thekingdomofanimals8323 Really happy to hear he pulled through! Stuff like that happens on occasion, but if you're really concerned you can replace it with a lighter piece if you want. I use thin bark because it's light and it provides a lot of space to hide under. :)
@@pricklypear1704 thanks for the advice. I might just do that!!!
You can get those dried fish from an Asian market a lot cheaper for a bigger bag
What is the purpose of raising isopods? Are they food for the reptiles? And the spiders? I’m just curious as to why you have so many, lol
My isopods like fish food and the algae wafers 🐟
oooo yes! Great food sources! thank you for sharing!
I feel you can mute the sprayer fx sounds in editing. Have you seen the spike back isopods. They were 500 dollars at the Pomona show. Coolest isopod ever. I got dairy cows thriving with my millipede. They live together like in nature.
Very cool! Sorry the sprayer annoyed you. I actually leave it in as an ongoing joke. Some of my viewers compare it to a seal lol.
I love you.
Right now i only have a young colony of locally gathered isopods lol
that's great too!
Isopods are interesting. Some species really look like tiny trilobites, cute. You are probably one of the people with most isopods at home. I don't think it is unusual, but I think it is cute that they like fish food. When I give mine some fish flakes, they take one flake, walk some steps back and eat it in some corner then. Can one feed isopods cheese, or is it unhealthy? And what about old bread, maybe with a drop of honey on it? (I am thinking this because roaches like it.) And by the way, what is the maximum age a single isopod can reach?
Old bread should be fine, if it’s mouldy the springtails will eat it
Frisky France
Are you using these as feeders or you just keep them as pets?
Mostly pets :)
Yellow squash or dried shrimp
my weirdest thing I've fed my isopods? iguana shed. they don't enjoy it though. oh I'm basically a criminal if i don't have maculatem? time to turn myself in lol
My isopods seem to love dead mealworms or superworms.
So, an extremely odd thing, but i was cutting up some mealworms, and accidentally took off some callous, wich dropped into the enclosure, and i later saw a large Dairy cow munching on it
My guess is for calcium/salt
