Armadillidium peraccae "Rough Roly-Poly" Isopod Care Guide

Armadillidium peraccae, commonly called "Rough Roly-Poly," is a hardy European species known for its rough-textured exoskeleton and classic pillbug appearance. It is a great choice for beginners, bioactive enclosures, and cleanup crews.

Enclosure:
Provide a well-ventilated container with a substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Add cork bark, bark flats, and small rocks for hiding and climbing. This species enjoys both secure spaces and open foraging areas.

Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 70-75°F. "Rough Roly-Poly" prefers moderate humidity (60-70%) with a moisture gradient—one side moist, one side drier. Good airflow is key for keeping the enclosure healthy.

Feeding:
Feed a staple of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement regularly with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein supports healthy growth and breeding.

Behavior:
"Rough Roly-Poly" isopods are moderately active, fast breeders, and highly adaptable. They tolerate a wide range of conditions, making them ideal for bioactive vivariums or as a fun beginner species for new isopod hobbyists.
