Great products

I switched to The Bug Rooms substrate a while ago and have always been very pleased with the quality, my Isopods seem to love it too!

Thank you for taking the time review our substrate. Very pleased to hear both you and your isopods are happy!

So far so good!

Usually I just make my own substrate, but this looks to be made of really good stuff, my substrate was provided in a resealable bag which is very convenient. Really trust this stuff will do my critters good.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I hope your critters enjoy their new substrate!

Really good

Really good substrate, only received yesterday which can I add was a day faster than expected which is a massive bonus. My millipedes love it. Also have a few live plants in the substrate and so far so good. Will definitely be ordering more and will and do recommend this product.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Millipedes certainly love muching through our substrate! It's great for live planted terrariums too, full of nutrients and holds moisture well. We actually use this for our planted gecko and frog enclosures.

Great looking substrate, does not have a funny smell like most substrate mixes I've ordered from elsewhere, very happy thank you :)

100% Organic, Edible Isopod, Millipede, Beetle Substrate.

This is a handmade substrate that we have been using successfully for many years of keeping and breeding various types of isopods, millipedes, beetles and beetle larvae. We also use this substrate in many tropical bioactive enclosures for geckos, lizards and dart frogs as it has a very high nutrient content which is superb for growing plants.

This substrate is a blend of organic top soil, worm castings, horticultural charcoal, bat guano, milled oyster flour, shredded rotten hardwood and leaf litter from beech and oak trees and live mosses.

This substrate is nutrient dense with each of the components selected to benefit your little critters. This substrate works as a stable diet for your isopods and millipedes as well as providing coverage in your enclosures and as a planting medium in bioactive or live planted terrariums.

The Importance of Substrate for Isopods and Millipedes


Substrate is the key component for all detritivores. A rich substrate that is packed with organic matter is essential for raising isopods and millipedes. A high quality substrate is key for sustaining happy, well nourished and active millipedes and isopods. The substrate is also important for stimulating breeding behaviour.

Read our page on the importance of substrate for isopods and millipedes for some further information. We always try to promote the "Thrive, not survive" ethos here at The Bug Room. We believe that animals should be kept as close to their natural environment as possible, this allows you to see your animals most natural behaviours and lets the feel safe, secure and comfortable.
