Description.
Oniscus Asellus, also known as “Common Woodlouse”, is an isopod that is large (one of the largest) in the British Aisles. They can also be found throughout Europe and in the United States. Our stock comes from New Jersey. I found them back in 2016 under a slab of bark. They are easy to raise and breed readily if kept cool (basement temp) and well fed.

Hoffmannseggi are a large spanish Isopod that should be housed in a container with 75% of the bedding kept dry and about 25% of the bedding kept damp so that they can access moisture when they need it. Place dry tree bark and branches in the container so that they can climb and hide. The babies like to hide.
They love fish food flakes and bee pollen and sometimes carrots.
They need good airflow and should not be crowded. Overcrowding will stop them from breeding and may even result in cannibalism.
Hoffmannseggi will grow to about 1.5 inches in length and about half an inch in width. We have two phases in our collection. We have the dark grey and the brown as you can see in the pictures.
