The isopod stacks

01/11/2024

One part of isopod breeding some may not think about is dealing with bins that are old and depleted of substrate resources. Since isopods spend so much time in the substrate they consume any added food and basically all the substrate and leave behind mass amounts of frass(poop). If the bins are left too long with too much frass the bins will turn acidic and you can experience huge die offs in the colony.

There's 2 methods to dealing with the frass problem. 1 the bins could be split into 2 with added fresh substrate in both bins . 2 make a new bin with fresh substrate and sift the isopods out of the old bin and remove them into the new one. It'd a big job trying to save all the isopods you can .

Also I Freeze the old frass to ensure there is nothing alive before I dispose of it or use it for plants !
