Trichoniscus sp.”Dwarf Purple”

Trichoniscus sp, commonly known as the “Dwarf Purple” Isopods, are extremely small isopods native to Costa Rica. These extremely small, soft-bodied Isopods have a purple coloration and a compact size, making them ideal for bioactive terrariums. Dwarf Purple isopods, like their counterpart Dwarf White Isopods are parthenogenic and reproduce quickly making them a popular addition to any bioactive setup.  They establish quickly and exhibit burrowing behavior. As adept janitors, they help keep the vivarium clean by aiding in the breakdown of organic matter. Additionally, they can serve as a natural calcium boost when consumed. They are a low maintenance addition to any vivarium.

Our isopods are fed a delectable feast of nature’s finest ingredients that include freshly harvested carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, and squash. But we don’t stop there. To ensure their optimal health and vitality, we complement their vegetable delights with a specially crafted blend of Repashy products, including Bug Burger, Morning Wood, as well as Supreme Isopods Isopod Chow.  We also provide them with bee pollen and calcium , nutrients that promote growth and enhance reproduction.
