Mini Speckled Woodlice Pre-pack | Bioactive Cleaner Crew

The Mini Speckled Woodlice Pre-pack is a pre-populated isopod colony aimed at keepers running bioactive vivarium setups or those needing a micro-sized live feeder for small amphibians and invertebrates. Sold as juveniles, these woodlice are extremely small — deliberate enough that larger reptiles and amphibians struggle to pick them out, making them genuinely effective as a self-sustaining cleaner crew rather than a quick snack.

Cleaner Crew or Live Food

As a cleaner crew, mini speckled woodlice break down waste, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter within a bioactive enclosure, supporting a healthier substrate ecosystem. They can also serve as a supplementary live food source for very small amphibians and invertebrates where a smaller feed item is needed — though keepers should note they are a modest-sized meal compared to alternatives like fruit flies.

How They Arrive

Your pre-pack arrives in a ventilated plastic container with perforated sides to maintain airflow while limiting escape risk. The base of the tub is lined with a nutrient-rich, soil-based substrate that supports the colony during transit. The colony is typically in the process of hatching on arrival and should be fully established within approximately one week.

Keeping the Colony Healthy

To maintain a thriving population once introduced, woodlice should be provided with a varied diet. A mix of nutritious fruit, vegetables, and dedicated insect food will sustain the colony long-term and keep isopod health at its best within your setup.

For keepers serious about bioactive husbandry, the Mini Speckled Woodlice Pre-pack offers a reliable starting point for a functioning cleaner crew — despatched direct from the breeder to ensure the colony arrives in the best possible condition.
