Well its been just over five days that i've been keeping isopods.Can't belive how much one can learn in just five little days.So here is a list of what i've learned from exprience with isopods:
1-Isopod feeding habits are easy to see unlike what most sites say.They made a small V shape into a carrot and have started nawing on it like theres no tommorow!
2-Moisture plays an important part in how active isopods are.Belive it or not i thought they'd be more active in wetter or moist contitions but in fact they are more active in dryier contidions[Just not too dry.]
3-I've found the perfect ammount of bedding and the perfect type that suits my needs.At the moment its just moist papertowel and then some cardboard.I then have a rack like structer that keeps the food off the substrate which i think will keep the food off the bedding thus lessening the chance of mites.I also like how it looks.I'll continue to move it up as time goes by so it's always ontop of the bedding.
Thats about all i've learned.My other bugs are really benifeting off of this neglect.Worms are still worming around doubled in size of my colony in a little over 1 month.I think all is good with them.My dermestids are doing fine as well i don't need to do anything with them!
