Big, bold, and wildly popular—Dairy Cow Isopods feature a striking black-and-white pattern reminiscent of a miniature Holstein cow. Reaching impressive sizes, Porcellio laevis are among the most active, confident, and voracious members of any bioactive clean up crew.
Dairy Cows have an insatiable appetite for protein, organic waste, and fallen leaves. They multiply rapidly and spend plenty of time out in the open, making them a fun display bug as well as a heavy-duty clean up crew for larger enclosures.
⚠️ Pro-Tip: Because Dairy Cows have a high protein drive, offer supplemental fish flakes or insect chow if keeping them alongside delicate, soft-bodied inhabitants.
