Rubber Ducky (Cubaris sp. 'Rubber Ducky')
Rubber ducky isopods require a consistently humid environment with a temperature range of 68-75°F in order to thrive properly. They naturally prefer a substrate that effectively retains moisture, such as a well-balanced mixture of coconut coir, peat moss, and leaf litter, which collectively aids in maintaining the necessary humidity levels. It is essential to provide adequate ventilation within the enclosure to prevent the growth of mold while ensuring that the habitat remains damp but not excessively waterlogged. Regularly misting the enclosure and implementing a moisture gradient can significantly help simulate their natural habitat conditions. Additionally, offering a varied diet that consists of decaying plant matter, fresh fruits, and specialized isopod food will support their overall growth, health, and well-being.
