Porcellio laevis dairy cow

These invertebrates serve several important functions in any vivarium acting as tank janitors to help break down dead plant matter and uneaten foods. They also provide the vivarium inhabitants with an extra in-house snack and aid in nutrient cycling.

These isopods are larger and more rare than the traditional white dwarfs, roughly 8-10 times their size. They are very efficient creatures and culture well together. They need slightly damp environments but not wet.

Each culture has approximately 12-15 mixed size isopods included, with food, and are considered as part of the giant species.
