I did something similar, but with Dubia roaches that I fed to my Bearded Dragons.

I have those in my backyard. Want me to mail you some?

I used to roll those things around whenever I saw them.

Collecting cockroaches?! Next you'll be telling me you keep a collection of hornets.

I used to raise dubia roaches too for my sugar gliders. Every time someone tried to steal a glider I'd feed them one and they'd get grossed out.

Porcellio laevis 'Dairy Cow'
Porcellio laevis 'Milkback'
Porcellio scaber 'Lottery Mix'
Armadillidium maculatum 'Zebra', 'Spotted', 'Chocolate'
Armadillidium vulgare 'Wild Type'

Look at youuuuuuu
I can't find my panda king photo so...

My diary cow, almost 2 years now

Set up is not as fancy as yours, i use 6qt container with peat moss/sphag/garden lime/bark/natural charcoal and boiled dried oak leaf

I've got a bunch, too, but I let them free range outside around the edge of the house so the sun can shine on their faces and the wind can blow through their hair. I was contacted by a Hollywood producer that wanted to do a semi-sequel to "Free Willie"...yep, it was gonna be "Free Rollie". But then the rolliepollies started trying to unionize and the demands they came up with were just too much so the producer backed out. Now they just wonder around sniffing rotted sticks and leaves and telling bad centipede jokes. They could've been stars!!! What a shame!!!

Nope, i think im done for now, with 8 types of isopods lol
