Armadillidium Werneri care?

Seventh Instar
I had a good sized group of Armadillidium Werneri, about 30 or so.  I kept them just like my Armadillidium klugii 'slano' and Armadillidium nasatum 'peach' (ventilated container, half substrate dry, half moist, same foods, etc.).  I had them for about 8 months, and somewhere in that time, then they just started dying.  It was about 1 to 3 a month that would die.  They didn't seem to be reproducing, and all I was left with was a beautiful group of a few adults.  I ended up sending those survivors to a friend to see if he had better luck.

Now that they are gone . . . I've been thinking about keeping them again. 

So with the back story out of the way, what might I have done wrong and how should I care for them in the future?

 
Did you ever get them again? Any chance the losses had to do with seasonal temperatures affecting the indoor temps or humidity?

 
Nope, never got them again so I couldn't check the seasonal differences.  But that is a good theory!

Thanks for checking in Orin!
