Holy Moly Rollie Pollie

Hmm weird. Mine will peck at anything moving, and what I throw on the ground or hold out in my hand.

The only bugs mine really go for are house flies and grasshoppers. No worms, or beetles, butterflies and moths are a hit or miss.

Looks like I got more Whites and some Papayas coming from Dubia, so I'll be fine container-wise.

The Whites get big. I have some that (guesstimate here) are about ¾ of an inch.

Now that I think about it, they're probably closer to ½ inch

Besides the two blues I posted a picture of last night, the assorted are all really small. But there was like 30 in their container (it said 10-15 per container) so I guess I can't complain really. Every time I thought I moved the last one, I'd see more scurrying around in the old tank

Married to an isopod fanatic. We might get some terrariums soon.

What species? You should get some Porcellio ornatus!

The others are all under the moss in this photo. The one visible is by far the largest.

I have some terrariums I'm trying to grow moss in as well. They'll take a little while to be established, I know, but hopefully by spring they'll be stable enough to put some isopods in.

You're raising Rollie Pollies?
You are so odd, my friend. I didn't even know this was a thing.
Fascinating they come in different varieties.
