Spiky Isopod 10pk

Woodlice are an excellent addition to any bio-active tank, aiding in the process of cleaning waste. Woodlice are bio-active custodians which feed off the waste created by your reptile pet and its food. Dwarf Woodlice are small and fast and so generally remain uneaten by your pet and will readily breed to keep your bio-active environment clean.

They eat any type of organic material and in the right bio-active set-up, they will breed prolifically and provide an ongoing food source as well as serving as part of the clean-up gang to consume waste and recycle nutrients.

Spiky Isopod (Porcellio echinatus) is a species of woodlice found in Europe. Their exoskeleton, which is spiky and serves as defence against predators, makes them simple to identify. They are typically found in damp, wooded areas where they feed on decaying plant matter. Spiky isopods are known to curl up into a ball when threatened, using their spiky exoskeleton as protection.

This behaviour, along with their unique appearance, sets them apart from other species of woodlice. Spiky isopods play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aiding in the decomposition process.
