How to keep Pink Panda isopods

• Panda King lines like warm, humid, well-ventilated tubs.
• Moss on the damp side helps with moulting.
• Colonies build slowly: be patient.
• Feed leaf litter and decaying hardwood as a staple, with cuttlebone for calcium and a small pinch of protein (fish flakes or dried shrimp) once a week.
• Use a tub with small vents and deep organic substrate (topsoil, coco fibre, leaf litter), with cork bark for hides.
