Description

Dairy Cow Isopods are arguably the go-to species for beginners and experienced keepers alike. Long favored for their mottled black-and-white coloration and incredible bioactive potential – they’re a perfect blend of isopod aesthetics and functionality. Like all Laevis Isopods, Dairy Cows are known for being one of the bigger and more aggressive isopod species. They should be paired with tank mates of the same size or larger.

Isopods at Misfit Farms are captive-bred in a controlled environment, with a constant temperature range of 72-80 degrees, to ensure peak breeding potential and quality of life. They enjoy a daily cycle of simulated daylight and a period of darkness, so they will arrive to you ready to serve as a clean-up crew in your terrarium or as the perfect, tidy pet.

We find that by keeping the isopods on a regular schedule, they experience less stress and less downtime needed to acclimate to their new surroundings. Additionally, the in-transit losses are minimal as we ship them in the same type of substrate they have in their enclosures, so they do not go into shock while bouncing around in a box.

All of our isopods are fed premium organic foods, of which many are OMRI certified. These same proteins, calcium, vitamins, and minerals are what you will get if you purchase one of our food blends, and when you buy isopods from us, they will all come gut loaded with our blends to guarantee your reptiles will get the highest form of nutrition.

If you purchase isopods for pets or as a clean-up crew, continuing to feed them what they were raised on will keep them happy and healthy. We strive to focus on high-energy protein to aid in breeding and calcium for strong exoskeleton support, which makes our Isopod Chow the perfect choice for your new pods. You can also feed your isopods fresh veggies (we discourage fruit as it attracts flies), leaf litter, fish flakes, and calcium blocks.
