Bamboo Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hello , I will be rehousing all my isopods and springtails from shoe box to a sweater box very soon. There are two sizes of sweater box , one size is deeper than the other. My question is, will isopods and springtail use the dept as well as the surface area ?

Hisserdude Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Depends on the species of isopod, some, like Armadillidium and Porcellio burrow, especially when molting, others, like Porcellionides, refuse to burrow. Springtails don't seem to burrow much, they prefer more surface area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 I went ahead and use the standard size sweater boxes for all the rehousing... I use a lot of leaves so the substrate isn't too heavy.... thanks for your response it help made my decisions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
