Care guides for everything we breed.
Pick your invertebrate. Every guide here was written by the breeder who raised it: the setup that works, and the mistakes that cost animals.
Four animals. Four sets of rules.
Praying Mantis
Enclosure, temperature, feeding, molting, and a guide for every species we breed.
Isopods
Substrate, humidity by group, what to feed, breeding, and how big a colony to start.
Springtails
Culture media, feeding, harvesting into a vivarium, and splitting cultures.
Feeders
Fruit fly cultures, spikes, and which feeder fits which animal.
The numbers, without the article.
Every figure is the target from that species' own guide. Tap a row for the full sheet.

Bought something? Here's its sheet.
Every animal we sell resolves to one guide. Isopods and springtails share a culture guide by design.
No species match that filter.
Reading it is half. Having the gear is the other half.
Height, not floor space
Medium 10×8.5×15 cm, large 12×10×20 cm, sized to the 2.5× molting rule the guides use.

Mist the walls, never the animal
A fine mister is how humidity gets held steady through premolt without soaking the enclosure.

Melanogaster, then Hydei
L1–L2 eat the small fly, L3–L4 the large one. Keep prey under a third of body length.
SHOP → Post the photo.
Someone's seen
it before.
The Discord exists for exactly this. Molting, not eating, mold, a stalled culture, or just looking off: take a clear photo, ask, and someone who has kept it before answers fast.
