We messed up the substrate! 🤦‍♂️ Monthly Isopod Update 03/26

Описание: One wrong move with the substrate can change everything. ⚠️ In this month's feeding session, we have to be honest with you about a mistake we made with our fermented leaf litter – but we also have some incredible success stories from our recent Expo arrivals to share!

Hello Creature Lovers and welcome to the Universe!

It’s time for episode three of our monthly isopod feeding and colony update. Since our last feeding video, the isopod room has transformed quite a bit. We’ve added several new species from the expo, and some of our existing colonies are absolutely exploding in numbers!

In this episode, we cover:
✅ Our Routine: How we prepare carrots, protein, and our special calcium mix.
✅ The Expo Newbies: How the new species are settling into their new bins.
✅ Breeding Success: We spotted the first babies in some of our newest projects! 🐣
✅ Lessons Learned: Why we are struggling with this batch of fermented leaves and how we are fixing it.
✅ The "Dairy Cow" Empire: Managing our split-up boxes and high-population colonies.

Most of the food we use is supplemental, as we focus on a natural diet of decomposing organic matter, but watching them swarm a fresh carrot is always a highlight for us!

Quick Question for the Community:
Have you ever had a colony struggle because of a substrate change? Let’s talk about our "fails" and fixes in the comments so we can all learn together!

Wish you all the best and see you in the Universe!
