Premium Isopod Enclosure Kit — Medium

A self-contained isopod culturing setup at shelf-friendly size. Every bioactive build we cover runs on its clean-up crew, and our guides recommend keeping a small external culture alongside the main enclosure — backup against a crash, and a source of extra individuals without buying a fresh commercial culture each time. This kit is that culture's container, supplied with everything except the isopods.

• Clear acrylic enclosure: a 9×7×6" cuboid with a secure locking lid — small enough for a shelf, clear enough to actually watch the colony establish.
• Purpose-made substrate: Terra Isopoda bioactive substrate, built around hardwood and calcium rather than repurposed reptile bedding.
• Food and cover included: 20 Colombian avocado leaves, a forest-floor wood decor pack, and magnolia and lotus seed pods — leaf litter is both shelter and the staple diet.
• Calcium and protein support: Soil Cal Plus, a Ca+ bone calcium supplement, and 4 oz of Bug Grub gutload — isopods need calcium to molt, and a culture without it struggles even when everything else looks right.
• No live isopods included: pair it with a starter culture of your chosen species — our clean-up crew guide walks through the beginner-proof options.
