Cubaris sp "Amber Firefly" Isopods

Cubaris sp "Amber Firefly" Isopods

Beautiful, bight, small and quick isopods!

These isopods do well at average UK room temperatures (around 20°C), though they do seem to thrive at 22-24°C. They enjoy a nice moist environment. General guidance would be to keep 3/5 of the enclosure moist. They enjoy a variety of foods such as washed and peeled vegetable scraps, though the stable of their diet should be leaf litter and rotten hardwoods. Ensure they have access to a good source of calcium, we would recommend either cuttlebone, eggshells or oyster shells.

Cubaris sp "Amber Firefly" Isopods are a fantastic species for both beginners and experienced keepers, though they do breed relatively slow. These isopods can be quite reclusive to begin with, though as the numbers grow they do become more bold over time.

Please note: All isopods are captive bred by us here at The Bug Room. We will always send a mix of sizes to maximise the success of your colony.
