I think they also eat dog shit, cause I see these wood louse on the sea front promenade where I live, and they are Huge ones too, but I can't see how they grow so big as there is not much for them to eat on the prom, just the occasional doggy poop, lol, so I wondered if may be they just live on dog shit.
wow this video is GREAT! Not only that it gives a really good idea of how to keep those bugs, it is also incredibly funny! LOL! My fav part is 0:54 to 1:02 :D
@dreadfulcreation I was doing that too. I needed something to feed my spiders and these isopods are everywhere here in the Pac NW, and apparently a natural food source for the species I keep. Unfortunately, they are cute and I feel bad feeding them to the spiders. So much so, that I'm probably going to release all of my spiders. Dont worry, they'll do fine. They are indigenous to this area ( and just about every other)
Also, sow bugs get along with pill bugs as they are a very similar species.
You can sort it tell when u r looking at the bottom of a female pill bug. They tend to have two round plates near the rear. I believe they store the eggs underneath.
This video was actually very entertaining! I love that you've used humour as well as important instruction, as it breaks up the video a little. Awesome piece of work, FMCP! Subbed, and currently checking out your channel! I hope you have more like this!
I would get peat moss from Lowes, for $11 you can get enough to last a lifetime. It holds moisture the best.
The largest ones I've seen are from Malaysia, which can reach just under 3" long and curl up to the size of an buffalo marble. I'd like to get a few of those!
Dude, can you do a video on caring for head lice? Mine keep dying. I don't know why. I never even bathe or wash my hair. My scabies are thriving so I don't know what's killing the head lice.
i can wait for tomorow cause ihave an old fish tank outside my house and an old table to i am going to get a pill bug colonie outside since i am not alowed stuff inside
Great video! Also want to add that they can actually drown if theyre submerged for too long underwater. Found some dead ones in a shallow pond I dug up in the backyard before. Although they have gills, water just doesn't provide as much oxygen as the air does.
This was a really well done video! I captured my own roly polies and did a science experiment on their behavior. What where some of the sources that you used?
thanks for the advice :P I have like 2 or 3 pill bugs in my hermit crab tank as janitors of a sort I will try to make the tank so that they can both survive in the tank happily XD
that is the most indepth vid about pill bugs! the mist boring but tastey snack in the woods. you kept me captivated to the end. You should become a teacher of some sort. Especially if u can take something boring and make it Fun! Great jod dude!
I've made a woodlouse house today thanks to your advice :D Is a tin okay? like a tin you'd get chocolates in? It seems to be perfectly fine x3 I've picked rather a lot, cause I didn't know how many would survive.. They seem to be doing fine x3
cheers for the vid i have a aquarium of them and it started from 10 to about 100 now im gonna think about getting something bigger but there ok for now(if theres a dead woodouse in the tank should i let the others eat the decaying carcass?
@omgwookienookie It never seemed to hurt mine any to leave the decaying carcasses in there; I imagine it might give them a little extra calcium in their diets too.
@omgwookienookie They eat the carcasses of other pillbugs because the armor contains some sort of calcium. I can't remember what it's actually called, but it makes the pillbug's armor stronger, so it's actually a good thing, and it means that you don't have to remove the dead ones!
Excellent video!!! I use these to keep some of my Tarantula tanks clean :) They do a good job at keeping the high humidity tanks free of mold and other nasties :)
i was reading that its best to keep a bottlecap with water in it in the cage if i doo that do i still have to spray them or is the cap just for drinking
@animalcollector102 I never really figured out how to tell the sexes apart, it really depends on the species. I think there's supposed to be some difference in the body structure but I could never see it. I usually just put in a bunch and chances are there'll be some male and some female.
As for what they eat, pretty much anything you feel like putting in that's vaguely edible: fruits, vegetables, grass, leaves, flowers, etc. They are detritivores or scavengers, after all.
@animalcollector102 ..... Female woodlice have brood pouches, if you flip them over you will see that either she has a bulging egg case under here (if pregnant) or a small yellowish pouch (if not). Females are also very large and rounded, they are larger than a male. The male is is smaller and shorter than the female. Their body is slim and short. If you flip them over you may see that at the bottom end they have their seminal tube that is encased in a chitinous sheath.
@GirlSpiritWolf Well, I never bother to do any regulating of my pillbugs and without any effort there were babies running all over the place..so I would say no, probably not.
i was laughing the entire time. very well done video!! loved the various images and stuff thrown in. really enjoyed this. <3 will be raising some of these for my little frogs. :)
LOL I've raised them every summer ever since i was in like 1st grade... I put some moist fish food flakes packed down in tiny shells for them to eat and in the morning its all gone..
7:05 IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL THERE ARE TWO ISLANDS THE ONE TWO THE RIGHT IS WHERE I LIVE IT IS CALLED GUERNSEY ITS GREAT AND WE ALSO HAVE WOOD LOUSE IN GUERNSEY (IN THE WILD.)
grat information! i have been taking care on mine for a week now but i don't like to look under rocks because we have black widows and posionious snakes instead i walk around my driveway in the months may-september because thats thier mating season i find it eaiser the keep them alive be putting a wet paper towel in their every day. (LOL this is a long comment!)
Nice job :) I've been taking care of pill bugs for about 5 years now. It's super fun and great for teaching the kids responsibility without having to buy a puppy and find them not taking care of it.
@Dimunic Thanks for the reply. I have a 20 gal tank with two juvenile giant african black millipedes. I need isopods for mite problems in my tarantula enclosures. I think that they would like the environment I keep my millipedes in. Humid and with lots of places to hide under along with decomposing materials.
@Chaoitcme Millipedes share a symbiotic relationship with mites.... you may not want to kill those. Mites clean out the carapace of pede. For tarantulas sure. Just not for pedes if thats your intention.
This video was both well done and hilarious... I'm thinking about breeding pill bugs to keep in my hermit crab tanks (as janitors) and this was pretty helpful
I put my rollie pollies in a small tupaware container then because i live in a veary humid area i dont have to realy sprits them often and i feed them egg shell letuce and old grapes.
hey! i just got 3 new ones.. is it normal when a pill bug eats the little baby pill bugs? because my other one victor does and so i put in a different container/tank
I love pill bugs so much! I found mine underneath a dead pant lol there were about a 100 :) thnx for the help! :) I made my tank a 2 level :) but dont worry the walls are very very high and the walls are plasic :)
ewWww no offence but i dont really like them. i see like one or two a week on my bed room wall and they freak me out anybody know how i can stop this from happening? :) please
did you know you can make a pillbug trap of a potato. take a raw potato cut it in half. hollow out the underside of the potato a bit for the pillbugs to sit in. make a entrance or else they cant get in. duh... basically make a potato iglo. i used to put it in a corner of the basement overnight. knowledge
@Godzillafan9000 I'd imagine they could escape a cage (especially any babies), and since Pill Bugs live in moist habitats with rotting plant matter the shoebox will go soggy and rot away and let them escape - plus Pill Bugs can eat cardboard, so they could tunnel themselves out,
Use a plastic container, anything will do really, an ice-cream container will do nicely if you only have a few Pill Bugs.
This is the best video on you tube! I am glad I'm not the only one who loves woodlice, I used to have a pet palmetto bug in Florida, had her since she was a speck and she lived 4 years. She loved yoghurt. RIP Mahogany.
Ahahaha this is awesome dude!! Nice work it was hilarious AND educational..that's extremely rare!! This vid makes me want to go have a pill bug farm!! Keep it up!
pill bugs look like pill millipedes but they're completly different. pillbugs and wood louse are arthropods or land crustations. they're relatives live in the sea, and the deep sea ones can get to 15 inches!! amazing life
i found a metal pipe in my yard, got it out, dropped it on the floor and hundreds of woodlice and earwigs came out. they are too many, they're getting in the house, how do i kill them? (i like them, but they've gone too far)
Awesome vid, mate. I'll subscribe to you now! You have a good sense of humor and I like your drawings. Thanks for teaching me how to properly take care of wood lice.
Yeah, lots of terrestrial crustaceans can drown easily. there gills have somewhat differentiated from there Oceanic ancestors, of which there are still representatives.
how do you know the different's between female and male?:) and how do you make a little woodlice?too. thank you whoever reply's ill subscribe to them. thankyou.:)X
awesome vid. i liked it a lot.^^ i'm not sure if i knew they were crustations or not. i used to study insects, reptiles, and anything else that people normally think to be discussing or creepy (like bats and spiders). from what i've found, it seems that everything in nature is hated by the vast majority of people. including amoebas. although half the people i talked to about them in public don't even know what an amoeba is but still think it's disgusting for it's name.
I've got a gold fish bowl, the total land/dirt in the bottom is about 3 inches by 4 inches, how many bugs do you think I could keep in it?
as well, one thing you may want to mention in any other videos you make, I notice that the ones that don't roll up are more shy, mine stay hidden under the bark literally all the time, the ones that do roll up stay out thought
hahaha rollie pollies dont drown, me and my friend were playing around and put some in a bird feeder (lol) they lived for 4 weeks sitting there and eating algae and mold
I hate creepycrawlies but I like pill bugs

This is the best video on you tube! I am glad I'm not the only one who loves woodlice, I used to have a pet palmetto bug in Florida, had her since she was a speck and she lived 4 years. She loved yoghurt. RIP Mahogany.

pill bugs look like pill millipedes but they're completly different. pillbugs and wood louse are arthropods or land crustations. they're relatives live in the sea, and the deep sea ones can get to 15 inches!! amazing life

i found a metal pipe in my yard, got it out, dropped it on the floor and hundreds of woodlice and earwigs came out. they are too many, they're getting in the house, how do i kill them? (i like them, but they've gone too far)

Yeah, lots of terrestrial crustaceans can drown easily. there gills have somewhat differentiated from there Oceanic ancestors, of which there are still representatives.

awesome vid. i liked it a lot.^^ i'm not sure if i knew they were crustations or not. i used to study insects, reptiles, and anything else that people normally think to be discussing or creepy (like bats and spiders). from what i've found, it seems that everything in nature is hated by the vast majority of people. including amoebas. although half the people i talked to about them in public don't even know what an amoeba is but still think it's disgusting for it's name.

I've got a gold fish bowl, the total land/dirt in the bottom is about 3 inches by 4 inches, how many bugs do you think I could keep in it?
as well, one thing you may want to mention in any other videos you make, I notice that the ones that don't roll up are more shy, mine stay hidden under the bark literally all the time, the ones that do roll up stay out thought
