RUBBER DUCKY ISOPODS ARE HERE!

RUBBER DUCKY ISOPODS

 

From Thailand

We finally have Cubaris Sp.  “Rubber Ducky” Isopods.  We have a small culture of Rubber Duckies and they are starting to breed.

That means that we are still a long way off from being able to sell them but we will eventually have them available for sale.

We have 6 types of Cubaris as well, so we are hoping to get them all breeding so that we can offer them to you at lower prices than they are currently selling at because they are so rare.

Anyway, I made a short Rubber Ducky care sheet video and I have some pictures of our breeding team of Rubber Ducky Isopods.  Enjoy and please comment below if you have any questions or advice.

Thanks for stopping in.

Woman Steals Package From House…A Box of Superworms!

Okay, this is pretty funny.  A woman sees a package on someone’s steps and steals it.  What did she get?  Superworms.  Can you imagine the fear when she opened up the package and saw big fat Superworms wiggling around?

That is worm farm justice right there.

HOW TO START A WORM BED

BuBuild a Worm Composting Bin

This one is an old article that helped build Wormman.com back in the 1990’s.  Anyway, the instructions for composting with redworms are still good.  🙂

Smoky BBQ crickets for Sale!!

Not from us.  🙂  There are some for sale in the U.K. though.  The maker of the novelty items hopes to sell them as a crunchy snack or garnish for things like tacos.  For now, they will see crickets that have a BBQ flavor.

Imagine the fun over Thanksgiving if you served up some bugs with the normal Thanksgiving menu.  Yum!

Eat Crickets for a Healthy Gut!

A study finds that eating crickets, even every day, can make you healthier.

Many cultures have been eating crickets for thousands of years. In the United States, any crickets that we eat, are usually consumed by accident.

Anyway, move to a bug based diet if you want some outstanding health benefits and a hoppy life. 🙂

Enjoy the article.

Grey Springtails in my Onicus Asellus Culture

Tomocerus sp

Grey Springtails

I noticed some grey things jumping around in my Onicus Asellus culture today.  I have had an odd morph of Onicus Asellus that I have been breeding and I was looking for babies when I noticed a couple of hundred grey things jumping round.  I have white and pink springtails but never had dark grey so I thought they were fleas at first.

It turns out that they are grey springtails called Tomocerus sp..  They also seem to breed well in the culture.

My original Onicus Asellus culture cam from Thompson Park in Monroe Township, NJ so the springtails must have hitched a ride with them when I found them in October of 2017.

I have a short video of the springtails and the isopods that I was talking about above.

ATLANTOSCIA FLORIDANA “FAST ISOPODS#

FAST ISOPODS

Atlantoscia Floridana

Fast isopods are the quickest isopods around.  They get to be about a third of an inch in length.  They make a great feeder for the picky eaters who need to be entertained by moving feeder insects.  They also make great cleanup crew members of any enclosures.

Fast breeding, easy to keep.  They like it in the 70’s and 80’s, moist and a good amount of leaf matter.  They also eat fish flakes, yeast, and bee pollen. Fresh veggies are also happily accepted.
