Nashington Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hi! In colonies, isopods seem to gather together, but don't seem to engage each other very often. Has anyone tried to keep individual pods by themselves? Do they survive? Do they go mad? Do they seem happy? I'm setting up some micro terrariums, (like 6x6", I'm not cruel) and they breed too quickly for a colony to go in... What about one? Thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be heated opinions! 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I have kept isolated specimens of Porcellio succinctus and Armadillidium. They live a lot longer and reach maximum size if isolated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they seem to be happier in groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpack Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I might try keeping one alone vs a group to see what happens, maybe. Another step would be to keep several singles and a group for comparison. the next step might be to do the same step of singles and then reintroducing the singles to the group.
