RYZA species care

Maple Orange

Oniscus asellus

An orange color line of the common shiny woodlouse — a temperate species that likes it cooler and moist.

Care notes

Oniscus asellus is a temperate species, not a tropical one — it does best at cooler room temperatures with a moisture gradient (one consistently damp side, one drier) and good ventilation. Provide leaf litter and rotten wood to graze on plus a steady calcium source. It is a hardy, forgiving cleanup-crew species once established.
