Isopod Porcellionides pruinosus “powder blue”

Nymphs from our own breeding. The gender of the nymphs is random. If you want to breed with them, we recommend ordering a group of 10 nymphs.
 

Information

Powder Blue isopods are a small to medium-sized species.

Like their Porcellionides pruinosus twin, the Powder Orange Isopods, these critters have a dusty texture on their shell – ranging from light silver to a darker chrome color.

Appearance

They typically grow to just over 1 cm, but these little rockets are fully active.

Behavior

Powder Blue Isopods are incredibly active eaters and breeders, making them a great bioactive choice and an excellent beginner species.

Food

Isopods are true scavengers. They eat dead wood, dead beech and oak leaves, fish food, cucumber, and mushrooms, among other things. Cuttlebone should definitely not be missing as they have a high calcium requirement, which can also be offered in powder form.

Environmental requirements

Isopods cannot climb glass, so a glass container as housing is sufficient. Use coco peat as a substrate mixed with humus, dead leaves (beech and oak), some pieces of decomposed wood and bark. The Porcellionides pruinosus "powder orange" does not have high environmental demands. Spray 1 part of the enclosure so they can choose a drier or more humid spot themselves. The temperature can be between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius.
