Acro 23 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Anyone feed used tea leaves to their isopods? I have non-caffeinated leaves (like mint tea, hibiscus tea, etc.) and caffeinated leaves (like green and black teas) too. Will the used tea leaves be a beneficial food for isopods? Will is somehow be harmful? What are your experience and thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw something today from an isopod breeder on Instagram that showed the use of a dried produce medley intended for pet reptiles in an enclosure. Theoretically, many herbal teas would work just as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Acro 23 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I went ahead and tired using tea leaves . . . they ate them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Acro 23 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Bump away! I'm always open to people "digging up" my old threads. More so, if they are still relevant or useful. But yes, I used both caffeinated leaves (black tea) and non-caffeinated leaves (green tea, mint tea, hibiscus tea, etc.). Both were eaten, no ill effects noticed. Hope that helps!
