Acro Posted October 3, 2019 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I went ahead and tired using tea leaves . . . they ate them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the bump, was curious whether this included the caffeinated leaves. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted October 22, 2020 Author 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!

dogpack Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thank you this is very, very helpful. I'm expecting isopods soon. They are the kind that are more aquatic. I'm doing research so any help is appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
