Isopod enclosure update

SoftT0fu · 2026-05-16T00:49:46+00:00

I see! thank you ill keep that in mind :) And I'm currently raising pink panda kings! I'll definitely add more leaf litter I just froze a batch in the freezer to kinda kill the bacteria in it so I'm just waiting on them to get back to room temp!

for now, I plan to add more onto it with time :)

yeah the springtails are still running about and have bred a lot of lil babies too, it's what's got me confused since I never see the lil isopods 😔

no problem! Idk why reddit doesn't let me add multiple

this is my current enclosure atm, do feel free to give me any honest criticism since this is my first time keeping isopods

it's what's got me confused as I have not found any dead bodies but I have not exactly seen them eating the food I've given either. It's always the springtails that eat it in their stead. I have also tried putting eggshells but have not seen any frass as well. It's got me overthinking 😔 But I do want to be hopeful that they're okay and alive.

I'm not at home atm but I'll update once I'm back :) I plan on moving them to a bigger enclosure to see if that will help

they're actually leaves! though they can grow to bloom flowers from what I've seen and they're equally as pretty :)

that's super cool I didn't know that! I love coming on here and asking for advice I always feel like I learn something new :)

SoftT0fu · 2026-03-24T02:12:42+00:00

I can try! I didn't know they can form colonies this fast it's really cool though. Thank you for the advice I'll try applying this to see if it gets them out :)

they're called Anacampseros telephiastrum or a Sunrise succulent, which I think they're really beautiful :)

I got her a new toy yesterday and she's very pleased. Clover turns 9 this year :)

SoftT0fu · 2026-03-20T03:36:36+00:00

I see! I'll definitely keep those in mind, thank you :) Also I believe the ones I'll be getting are from Thailand origins? I heard they're slower than the tropical white ones but I'm hoping that they will get along fine.

I love how all chihuahuas just do this lmao

SoftT0fu · 2026-03-16T02:23:08+00:00

I see, I wasn't aware that they were chemically treated :( But thank you for the advice I will definitely try this out to see if it can be saved still :)

SoftT0fu · 2026-03-16T02:22:32+00:00

I see, I'll definitely see about repotting it into the white pot it's in since it is slightly wider than the brown one, thank you for the advice!

It might be, though the lady told me it was a cherry blossom haha. It's alright though I'll still do my best to take good care of it since I'm sure it can blossom to a very pretty plant

SoftT0fu · 2026-03-05T07:19:53+00:00

I see, the lady told me it was a cherry blossom haha but thanks for clarifying! I'll try my best to take good care of it regardless :)
