Isopod feeding response to bee pollen

I have been reading and learning about isopods.  I have seen a few feeding suggestions.  I am trying out some new foods and monitoring for their feeding response.

Experiment #1: Bee pollen

They had a great feeding response and cleared it out in less than 30 minutes.

Amazing Isopods

I have fallen in love with my bugs.  I think it takes me back to my childhood.

I originally got them to seed my gecko tanks.  Now, I am enjoying all of the species.
