My dairy cow colony is so insane now I do nothing but watch them multiply lol. Frozen Squash is a HUGE hit for Isopods though!
Good to know! I will add it to the list
@@Dakotahblueexotics They also love left over cat/dog wetfood. Honestly my Isopods are my compost bin these days lol
Mine love sweet potatoes.
My shrimp and snails also love squash and sweet potato so I guess there not to much different
@@WysdremI added mine to my indoor garden and vermicompost bin, excited to see how quickly they multiply and help with my compost
Just got my first pack of Isopods! My daughter had so much fun setting up their bin. 😊
I like how morning wood was questionable but "dirt daddy" was perfectly fine xD
I just wanted to comment because I've just gotten into Isopods and this is the first video I've came across that's not like 4 years old. Papa Bless
We're bringing isopods back! 😂
@@Dakotahblueexotics Hopefully it's not an iso-lated incident.....I'll see myself out.
I was thinking about breeding these little guys thank you very much!
Amazing!!!
Thank you for the Isopod information
Repashy morning star I sprinkle some on the cork bark and they love it I put piece of carrot & veggies and they will munch on it I check in a couple of days remove what they didn’t eat and put some fresh veggies I learned the hard way they need lots of humidity they need it to breath through there gills if not they will dry out and die I use a bunch of moist sphagnum moss in a corner of the bin to keep the substrate moist I remember growing up we’ll call them rolly pollies
I feed my isopods baby carrots and fish flakes and they breed like crazy.
Mine love cucumber!
Thank you for the great information
I have a zebra isopods. Unlike dairy cows, they do not breed terribly fast. Thank God. That pleco food is a great idea!
Awesome video! thank you! :D
I would say that armadillidium species need holes drilled/poked into their bins, they seem to appreciate more ventilation. Some porcellio species are the same way. :)
my current favorites are cubaris murina and venezillo parvus, parvus in particular are super underrated, especially for bioactive setups - they're quite small and gentle with inhabitants
the struggle to open the 1st bag of substrate killed me lmao XD
Thanks for the tips! Just got some dairy cows from petsmart(poor little dudes were half dead i just couldnt leave them there since they were onsale) so i hope theyll breed.
My question would be, how and where do the shoe boxes go? Light, shade or dark cool, warm or hot? Feeding frequency?
They like dark, room temp, just feed them whenever it looks like they’re getting low on decaying matter
I have an isopod 'food disposal' under my kitchen sink. Any organic food goes in there and gets eaten up. Then i clean iut one side and add fresh compost every few months.
No need to disturb the pods, there's a swivel garbage lid for dropping in refuse! I sometimes pour fruit and veg juices, and even the ends of water bottles or juices inside.. actually made the cabinet smell like fresh earth instead of stagnant air! Feels weird to have an entire ecosystem working under your cabinetry... But I like to thabk Flintstones, because they used living creatures to accomplish every day tasks, without depriving them of their own way of life, it seemed. Cheers!
Isn't it sad that people dont watch small youtuber vids :(
I've had about a dozen zebra isos, in a smallish tub with a cork piece nice substrate magnolia leaf litter and sphagnum on one end to hold moisture, for around 4-5mos, and I'm beginning to worry. They have yet to reproduce. I'm keeping them in a dedicated culture in order to get a colony established before I seed my crestie vivarium with them. I seeded it with small starter cultures of dwarf isos twice and they didnt take, so I'm using this as a contingency plan this time.
If only they'd bang already, damn it!
They're acting like the isos I see usually acting, congregating together under the cork, like in the videos, as opposed to wandering seperately all over the tub. They should produce young soon, I believe. I had to turn the cork over so that the rough side was on the bottom. The underside was too smooth, I found.
Hey, decent video! I breed and keep a dozen varieties of freshwater dwarf shrimp. Let's just say.. I've seen a pregnant female take a poo then immediately pick it up and eat it. They are the water equivalent "clean up crew," for sure!
Huhu...huhuhuhu....he said morning wood beavis...huhuhu...(in Beavis and butthead voice.) 😂🤣😂🤣❤
breeding? i was waiting for the part you show what to expdct for babies
fish food and carrots blended up my isopods go fucking nuts for it
Had me laughing all yhe eay through
I have zebra isopods!
Dakotah, shrimp are aquatic crustaceans. They eat various tiny things like algae, plankton and lots of decaying detritus (aquatic doo-doo.) Isopods are terrestrial crustaceans and also like a variety of foods including other creatures doo-doo. In addition to the processed food mentioned they like little pieces of veggies; carrots, zucchini, broccoli etc. and some fruit like an apple wedge. Don’t overfeed and replace food every few days. Various isopod species require varying degrees of humidity so know which species you intend to keep. The general rule of thumb is half the enclosure should be kept slightly moist (more sphagnum moss which retains moisture) while the other half is kept drier (less sphagnum moss.) Containers should be misted regularly when the damper side feels dry, never let it dry out completely! All isopods like to hide under things so pieces of bark & dead leaves should be scattered around both ends - cork bark works well. The YT channel “Aquarimax Pets” goes into great detail regarding each isopod species including the best species for bio-active enclosures. Spring-tails are also excellent to add to bio-active setups but need different captive maintenance. Perhaps you could do a basic Spring-tail culture Dakotah, surprised you didn’t mention them at all, naughty boy. 😂
Not all isopods are aquatic
When I was a kid I used isopods as bait for catching sunfish.
Does it destroy a wooden terrarium?
Subscribed
Yeah. Over time from the moisture and humidity.
Shrimps eat plankton, but isopods eat anything
💜💚💚💚💜

I accidentally bred my isopods... I put them in my cricket tank to handle waste and they started breeding.
Do you have the permits for selling them
Not at this time but am currently working on it. Won't be selling until next year when the colonies really get going.
@@Dakotahblueexotics cool I just didn't want you to get in to trouble, because honestly you are a great inspiration
You need a permit to sell bugs? That's kind of strange
@@Chudchanning for the usda yes
Yeah, even need a permit to breathe, right?
I bought like 2 small smug bug cups at petsmart over the course of a year for my tokay tank and those things exploded to the point I just shake a piece of bark off whenever I set up a new terrarium. Pretty sure they're the "cheap" powder blue species, I'm not a fan of bougie shit in the species realm
I used to do the same years back
i’m a beginner
Don't get dairy cows--all they do is EAT, EAT, EAT, EAT and BREED..BREED..BREED.
More cows!! MOOOOOORE
Shrimps eat the same thing as isopods only ocean flavor. 😂 detritus and algae. And poop they eat alot of poop.
And it's a delicacy!?
@@Dakotahblueexotics yep. 😂. They used to feed lobsters to slaves back in those days. Considered them like roaches and gave them to the poor. Dont believe me look it up.
I have Dubrovnik armadillidium klugiis and orange Dalmatian p. Scabers. The klugiis are ironically difficult because they’re lower humidity and they will die if you spray them too much. They’ll also die if you don’t spray them enough 🥲 learned that the hard way. The p. Scabers are wicked easy though
Putting holes in the bins of armadillidium species can make it easier to care for them. That way Part of the enclosure gets dry there should be an area that is always damp :)
