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...

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. _________________ Visit me @Tarantulas.us

I 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
