Woodlouse bugs

[gcollin]

The other night i found an infestation of woodlouse in my window cell, would they hurt my salamander if put them in his tank?.

I think they are suggested as an alternative food item for salamanders. As long there are no pesticides or any other chemicals used on them or near them.

They seem to be eating the pothos, I have some grass sprouts in the tank, which are intended for bugs to eat,
but they wont, what should I do?.

I don't think you can train woodlice and I don't think you can politely say that pothos isn't on the menu!

You either got to put up with them eating whatever they like or remove them.

They are eating a bunch of it, do you think if I decrease how many i have in there then the pothos will survive?.

Seems funny that woodlice would eat live plants with thick leave like pothos. They eat decaying leaves and wood. But maybe they are just eating what they have to And they are a great food for Salamanders. I raise them in plastic shoe boxes for food for my critters
