Common Pygmy Woodlouse: perfect helpers for wet terrariums

Discover the small, agile ground dwellers for your terrarium: the Common Pygmy Woodlouse (Trichoniscus pusillus)!

Originally from the humid regions of western, central and northern Europe, they have now also found their way to North America. These agile Isopods feel particularly at home in damp, cooler climatic conditions.

They are a must-have for every terrarium owner, especially if you have a poison dart frog terrarium! These nimble, brown Isopods are characterized by their quick mobility. This not only makes them perfect for keeping your terrarium in top condition, but also makes them easier for the frogs to spot.

They therefore do not escape the hungry gaze of smaller frogs and lizards, which makes them an additional source of food.

Brown isopods that originate from a temperate climate develop particularly well in environments with high humidity. They are perfect food animals for many terrarium inhabitants such as frogs and geckos. What’s more, they play an important role in the disposal of food waste and thus contribute to a healthy microclimate.

Place the Common Pygmy Woodlouse in your moist terrarium and watch how they, together with the plants, create an ideal environment for your terrarium inhabitants. They are the little helpers that keep things tidy – your personal health and soil police. They are also ideal for bottle gardens.
