Assel-O-Mat

Single housing is of course perfect for observing the Isopods in peace. Breeding will also work best this way, as there are no more disruptive factors such as predators or compromises in husbandry.

Would you like to breed Isopods as display animals or as food animals?

There are also Isopod keepers who breed Isopods to feed the offspring to their tarantulas, scorpions, amphibians, turtles or reptiles. Hence the question, do you want to keep Isopods to feed them or do you want to keep Isopods to observe them and sell or trade the resulting offspring?

How demanding can the posture be?

The requirements of the different species are relatively different, so the question for me is whether you already have experience of keeping terrarium animals or whether you are starting from scratch.
