ISOPODS in your plates!

Isopods can and do play many key functions in a terrarium ecosystem. Isopods are amazing terrarium janitors. They help break down animal waste, leaf litter, and other plant debris. In the process, they make nutrients available for your plants and help to prevent build-ups of organic material in your tank.
