Habitat
Soil is kept here as a small substrate isopod, not a big bark-dweller. The mix should stay damp through the depth, with leaf litter on top and no standing water. If you only mist the surface, the layer they use still dries.
Diet
Fine decaying leaves, wood, and organic bits in the soil, plus calcium. A heavy protein feeding is wasted on a buried culture and grows mold.
Breeding
You judge this culture by sifting a spoon of soil, not by looking at the lid. Growth depends on moisture. No brood count is recorded, and this listing is not claimed to be parthenogenetic.
A good fit
A soil worker for a humid bioactive more than a pet you will watch. Different job from a Dairy Cow.
