I used to adore these little guys as a child. I loved to watch them roll up in tiny balls.

Same! I used to catch them all the time as a kid. That's why I decided to go whole hog and set up an enclosure for them! These are just normal backyard pillbugs, but there are some amazing new breeds out there now that are absolutely gorgeous!

I used to have these as pets as well! So fun to watch. I got mine from my sister who has a bioactive Vivarium, she has all fancy types, zebra, etc. Mine reproduce so much I had to give them back to her as they stripped their habitat clean. But now you got me thinking of trying them again... 🤔

When i was a kid, me and my friends would line up 4 or 5 of these little guys and watch them race against each other - that´s how we had fun in the 80´s ;-)

Hi! I feed them either fish food flakes or a specialized product from the company Repashy called "Bug Burger". It's designed to be fed to "feeder insects" like crickets and isopods. Photo of both products is attached :) They honestly seem to prefer the fish flakes to the Bug Burger. I also buy something called a "cuttlebone", which is for pet birds, and I scrape some of it into the enclosure. This provides extra calcium to help them moult their shells, but it isn't required. Really you could feed them any brand of freshwater fish flakes :D I don't feed them every day - because they are detritivores ("trash"/rotting stuff), I only feed them again when I see ALL the fish flakes have been eaten. That way, extra food doesn't build up and grow mold/attract unwanted insects :) My pillbugs are all backyard-caught ones too! Someday I'd love to buy some of the fancy kind, but for now, mine are "locally sourced" ;) IMG-6887-6...70eb3d.jpg IMG-6887-63d5d1770eb3d.jpg

Those were my first "pets" as a kid! Made a little home in my room for them in a shoebox...without a lid. My parents were finding roly-polys all over the house for about a week.

They are AMAZING. Although they are crepuscular/nocturnal and not super-active during the day, and they do burrow/hide under the substrate a lot, there are always a few of them trundling around and crawling all over the bark/rocks/stuff in their tank! They aren't the most thrilling, true, but they're very low-maintenance and they still do fun stuff. I put miniature model furniture in their tank, and it's hilarious to watch them crawl around on it.

Piper is a beautiful name. Reminds me of one of the Halliwell sisters (played by Holly Marie Combs) from the 90s version of Charmed. I always liked Piper better than Prue and Phoebe. Paige was OK.
