Cubaris murina "Little Seaā Isopods establish moderately quickly in a vivarium, and will act as janitors to keep the vivarium clean, as well as a snack that provides a natural calcium boost. They have adorableĀ orangishĀ butts. They are native to theĀ North America. These isopods have a hard, calcified body. They are moderately sized as adults, but the younger ones are palatable and are eaten by amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles. Larger amphibians and reptiles will consume adults as well, but not poison dart frogs. Our isopods are fed Iso-licious Isopod Food 1-2x a week, including our new wet mixes, supplemented with potatoes, squash, carrots, our leaf powder, and a cuttlebone. These isopods enjoy warm temperatures and an occasional misting, and do fine in a damp environment. We allow space for a moderate moisture gradient, starting with one side of the enclosure having wet NZ sphagnum moss, the middle being moist and mostly covered with leaf litter and bark, and onto the oppositeĀ side beingĀ mostly dry and covered only with leaf litter. This provides the neededĀ space for Isopods to osmoregulate to remain in homeostasis, but also provides adequate moisture.Ā
