Isopod Habitat Mix 1 Liter – the ready-made natural top layer for isopod boxes, breeding boxes, and bioactive terrariums. The mixture consists of moss, lichens, cork pieces, leaves, and other structural natural components, instantly adding more surface area, hiding places, and natural structure to your isopod setup.

For isopods, in particular, the surface is crucial: they use leaves, cork, moss, and lichens not only as hiding places but also as walking, retreat, and grazing areas. With the Isopod Habitat Mix, you don't have to gather the appropriate natural materials individually – just open the bag, spread it loosely, and your isopod box will immediately look much more natural.

Why the Isopod Habitat Mix makes sense:
– Ready-made natural mixture for isopod boxes, breeding boxes, and bioactive terrariums
– Contains moss, lichens, cork pieces, and leaves
– Instantly creates structure on the substrate
– Offers hiding places and retreat areas for isopods and other invertebrates
– Provides natural grazing areas through lichens, leaves, and organic components
– Moss components support moister areas in the box
– Cork pieces provide surface area, protection, and structure
– Visually much more natural than pure leaf litter
– Ready to use: simply sprinkle, spread, and you're done

Suitable for which animals?
The Isopod Habitat Mix is particularly suitable for isopods, springtails, millipedes, snails, and other invertebrates in natural or bioactive terrariums.

What is included?
The mix contains a varied natural blend of moss, lichens, cork pieces, leaves, and other natural structural materials. This creates a vibrant surface with different moisture zones, hiding places, and small microhabitats.

Application:
Loosely spread the Isopod Habitat Mix over the existing substrate. A combination of drier and moister areas is particularly useful so that the animals can choose where they want to stay. Moss and lichen areas can be lightly moistened depending on the enclosure.

Practical Tip: Do not press the mix down completely, but spread it loosely on the substrate. This creates small gaps, hiding places, and natural pathways for isopods and springtails.

Ideally combined with:
– Isopod box or breeding box
– Suitable substrate
– Isopod Premium Food
– Cuttlebone powder or cuttlebone pieces
– Isopod feeder
– Springtails as tank cleaners

Contents:
– Volume: approx. 1 liter

Scope of delivery:
– 1× Isopod Habitat Mix 1 Liter

Notes:
Natural product – composition, color, structure, piece sizes, and weight may vary naturally per bag. Not suitable for human consumption. The mix does not replace a suitable substrate but is used as a natural top layer on the substrate.

What is the Isopod Habitat Mix for? +
The Isopod Habitat Mix is a natural top layer for isopod boxes, breeding boxes, and bioactive terrariums. It adds structure, hiding places, moist areas, and natural grazing surfaces to the substrate.
Is the mix suitable for isopods? +
Yes. The mixture was specially compiled for the natural keeping of isopods. Leaves, cork, moss, and lichens create a richly structured surface with retreat areas and natural grazing areas.
Can the Isopod Habitat Mix be used as a substrate? +
The mix is intended as a top layer and is placed on a suitable substrate. It does not replace a complete substrate, but complements it with structure, hiding places, and natural surfaces.
What is the difference from normal leaf litter? +
Normal leaf litter usually consists only of leaves. The Isopod Habitat Mix additionally contains moss, lichens, cork pieces, and other natural components. This makes the surface look more natural and offers more structure, hiding places, and different micro-areas.
Does the mix need to be moistened? +
Depending on the animal species and enclosure, a partial area can be lightly moistened, especially where moss is included. It is important that the box does not become completely wet and that the animals can choose between moister and drier areas.
What terrariums is the mix suitable for? +
The mix is suitable for isopod boxes, breeding boxes, forest terrariums, rainforest terrariums, and bioactive terrariums. It is particularly useful wherever a natural, richly structured surface is desired.
Why can the contents vary per bag? +
This is a natural product. Therefore, color, structure, piece sizes, weight, and composition may vary slightly per bag. This is precisely what makes the mix visually natural and varied.
