does anyone use isopods?Subject line says it all. Wondering if anyone here has experience with putting pillbug/sowbug/smaller whatevers into moist cages to act as little garbage collectors. In theory, I think this is an awesome idea and want to try it, but would like to hear commentary...PC |

I have used both with my millie's and they have worked great.
I know some people use it with their T's as well, however I have never tried it. |

Where did you get them? The garden, or did you buy them? (Oh: ha ha, I have a bigger pulchra than you do now, Lony, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah) PC |

Yes, I bought them. I would not take anything out of the backyard due to pesticides etc, even though we don't spray.
Here check out Peter Clausen's website: http://www.bugsincyberspace.com/browse1.htm He is a member on this forum as well and a great guy to deal with. WHAT???? How big? |

Closed Enviroment ScavengersI am wondering what the longer term affects of mold targeting isopods would be , if it would be similiar the catch 22 encountered in other disciplines of keeping - for what goes in one end comes out the other in the form of ammonia , fecal fodder for bacteria and the decomposing bodies of hidden and deceased " bottom feeders"My mind is open tho keep me posted
