Hello favorite! I have a small (18x12x12") ZooMed terrarium which for years has hosted only a Lace Flower plant (Alsobia dianthiflora). It's set up with a drainage layer and vivarium substrate, and would be easy to make bioactive. (I keep a bioactive tank for my crested gecko.) I'm wondering if you know of any bug friends I could keep in that tank which wouldn't require regular trips to a pet store - so, no crickets or mealworms, but any critters that could live in that space and (cont)
(cont) would happily eat frozen food (bloodworms maybe?) or Pangea Gecko Diet. No worries if you can't come up with any - the Lace Flower plant is a delight on its own - but it would be lovely to have a [very low-maintenance] friend in there. :) TIA!
Hello! I think any low maintenance non-predator bug friend you wanted to keep in there would require quite a few changes to the substrate and additions of decor to be appropriate. The only thing that you could probably just toss in there and they'd be fine would be isopods - though they'd still need a few changes and they would almost certainly breed so heavily you'd have to upgrade the enclosure. Millipedes would be possible but again, there are a few changes they'd need. Or a snail maybe, though they might eat your plant.
