Want to set up an isopod terrarium but wondering what you really need? With us, you can start with a compact isopod box or create a display terrarium. Here you\u2019ll find the differences between our complete sets and instructions for the substrate, leaves, hiding spots, and the humid corner. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A good start begins with the species you plan to keep. Zebra pill bugs, Porcellio laevis \u201cPanda,\u201d and Cubaris \u201cRubber Ducky\u201d don\u2019t all need exactly the same conditions. That\u2019s why we pair the choice of container with the appropriate care. If you already have a suitable box, you can, of course, continue to use it. <\/p>\n\n

Which isopod terrarium is right for you?<\/h2>\n\n

I started out with small plastic boxes myself. A larger floor area makes it easier to create damp and drier zones and to arrange the interior. For Isopods, usable floor space is more important than as much height as possible. Be sure to plan for a growing group. <\/p>\n\n

For a display terrarium: Isopod Terrarium Complete Set<\/h3>\n\n

If you want to observe your little forest landscape through glass panels, the Isopod Terrarium Complete Set (30 \u00d7 30 \u00d7 30 cm)<\/strong> is the way to go. You can access the interior from above via the mesh lid. This makes it easy to set up the terrarium and add leaves. A ready-to-use set saves you the trouble of finding materials; you\u2019ll just need to set it up and adjust the humidity to suit your specific species. <\/p>\n\n

The set includes the terrarium, 6 liters of forest humus, 1 liter each of white-rotted wood and decaying leaves, mussel grit, a cuttlebone, terrarium moss, porous rock, a Buddha nut, and a species name sticker. Isopods are not included in this list.<\/strong> A lamp or heater is also not included and is not automatically necessary. First, check the temperature at the intended location. <\/p>\n\n

Get Started Quickly: Insektenliebe-Isopod Starter Kit<\/h3>\n\n

The 5-liter plastic box<\/strong> is a space-saving option for a small starter group, such as zebra woodlice or Porcellio laevis \u201cPanda.\u201d It\u2019s especially suitable if you want to keep things simple and observe the animals when you open the box. As the population grows, you may need more floor space later on. <\/p>\n\n

Choose your version carefully: The \u201cSet with Accessories\u201d<\/strong> includes, in addition to the ventilated box, forest leaf litter, white-rotted wood, feed leaves, moss, lime, cuttlebone, cork bark, and a feed sample. The \u201cSet without Accessories\u201d<\/strong> includes the box with a ventilation grille, clips, and stickers. Animals are only included in versions that explicitly specify a particular species of isopod. You can view the available versions directly in the selection. <\/p>\n\n
