I thought I would share a technique I came up with for culturing terrestrial isopods. First I combined shredded newspaper and just enough hot water to thoroughly moisten the newspaper in a blender, and blended it into a chunky pulp (Note: This coats the inside of the blender with ink, so you might want to purchase an old blender from a garage sale or used appliance store). Then I pour this pulp into a plastic sweater box with holes drilled into the top for ventilation. Now just add isopods and spray with water when the pulp starts to dry out. The pulp hold moisture very well, so you won't have to spray it often. The pulp acts as both a food for the culture and a substrate for the isopods to burrow into.
