Porcellio laevis – “Complete Collection Combo”

Porcellio laevis Combo for Sale This Porcellio laevis combo includes 60 live isopods total: 15 Dairy Cow, 15 Orange, 15 White, and 15 Wild Type. It is a simple way to build a four-morph collection, start separate cultures, or add a hardy cleanup crew to a larger bioactive setup. Porcellio laevis is one of the larger, more active isopods in the hobby, so keepers enjoy them as display animals as well as working cleanup crews. What You Receive The combo includes four morphs of Porcellio laevis: 15 Dairy Cow, 15 Orange, 15 White, and 15 Wild Type. House each morph separately if you want to keep the color lines clean. Mixed cultures are fine for a pure utility cleanup crew, where morph separation does not matter. A Cleanup Crew and Display Colony These isopods eat a wide range of decaying matter, so they break down leaf litter, leftover food, and waste in a balanced terrarium. They are also large, bold, and active by day, which makes them easy to watch. So one combo gives you both a working cleanup crew and a display culture. They still need food, moisture, ventilation, and calcium to thrive. Animal Pairing Notes Because Porcellio laevis is large and protein-hungry, use care in sensitive setups. They suit larger reptiles and bigger bioactive enclosures rather than tiny amphibian habitats. For small frogs or delicate microfauna, smaller dwarf white isopods and springtails are safer choices. Housing and Feeding Start each morph in its own ventilated bin with a moisture-holding substrate, leaf litter, cork bark, and a damp moss corner. Keep one side more humid and one drier so the isopods can choose. Offer leaf litter, vegetables, and a calcium source like cuttlebone or isopod feed, with protein in moderation. Feed small amounts, and remove old food before it spoils. Best For Building a four-morph laevis collection. Starting separate breeding cultures. An active cleanup crew for larger bioactive setups. Display cultures where bold color and surface activity matter. Not Best For Small frogs and delicate microfauna, which suit dwarf isopods. A primary staple feeder, since this is a cleanup crew. Bone-dry setups or pine, cedar, or treated wood. Recommended Add-Ons Isopod Feed for a balanced diet and strong shells. Ultra Isopod Habitat Kit with substrate, moss, and leaf litter to start. Springtails to complete the bioactive cleanup crew. Leaf Litter as food and cover. Live Isopods to browse other species and morphs. Frequently Asked Questions What comes in the combo? You receive 60 live Porcellio laevis: 15 Dairy Cow, 15 Orange, 15 White, and 15 Wild Type. House each morph separately to keep the colors pure. Can I use these with small frogs? Use caution. Porcellio laevis is large and assertive, so for small frogs, dwarf isopods and springtails are safer choices. What should I feed them? Offer leaf litter, decaying hardwood, vegetables, isopod food, a calcium source, and small amounts of protein. Remove old food before it spoils. Do they need springtails? Springtails are strongly recommended. They manage mold and fine waste that isopods miss, for a cleaner bioactive setup. Why are my isopods hiding after arrival? Hiding is normal after shipping. They settle under bark, moss, and leaves, then become more active around feeding and damp areas. Learn More About Isopods These sources cover isopods and bioactive husbandry.
