Armadillo Isopods

Armadillo isopods, commonly known as "pill bugs," are terrestrial crustaceans renowned for their distinctive ability to roll into a ball when threatened—a behavior termed conglobation. This unique defense mechanism not only protects their soft undersides but also minimizes moisture loss, making them fascinating additions to any isopod collection.

Within this collection, you'll find species such as Armadillo officinalis 'Red Brick' and Armadillo tuberculatus. Armadillo officinalis 'Red Brick' is celebrated for its vibrant reddish hue, adding a splash of color to your vivarium. Armadillo tuberculatus, on the other hand, thrives on a diet rich in protein and calcium, including leaf litter, decaying wood, and dried vegetables. Providing a habitat that mirrors their natural moist environments is crucial for their well-being. 

These isopods are not only captivating due to their behaviours and appearances but also play a vital role in the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter. Whether you're a seasoned isopod enthusiast or new to the hobby, Armadillo isopods offer a unique and engaging experience.
