I would like to know about keeping a rolly pollie as a pet. I mostly want to know what to feed him. He's in a cage and has a name, I just want to know what to feed them.

do you mean the little insect?? or is there something else i dont know about.
They aren't insects, they are isopods, not even close to insects. They are also crustations. Also, they were brought to USA by Europe
just put like a little slice of apple or carrot or something
Feed it fish food.
Hi, They eat my vegetable plants, so they must like salad greens. Loretta
Thank you
Pill bugs eat decaying plant matter, such as rotten tomatoes and/or dead plants.
They actually eat wood
Well I feed them weeds and I think they eat it.
Pill bugs can eat decaying leaves apples and other fruits and vegetables
They also eat decomposing or dead plant matter
I would love to send you some Pill Bugs that keep
coming into my home. Are you keeping them it in an aquariam or? I would think teeny tiny pieces of
just a cage and thay can also eat fruits and cumbled up cardboard.
Keep the environment like they live in outside--cool, dark, and damp. I'd make sure there was some dirt, some plants, and old food (roly-polys sure like my compost pile) like part of an apple core or lettuce leaves.
Just an interesting fact--they're not "bugs" at all. They're actually crustaceans--more closely related to a crab than a ladybug!
Here is some information about pill bugs:
Pill Bug/Sow Bug: Order Isopoda
Appearance: Not more than 3/4 inch long; thorax composed of seven hard overlapping plates with seven pairs of legs; only pillbugs are able to roll up into a ball.
Habits: Prefer moist locations; found under objects on damp ground; mostly nocturnal; sometimes found in basements and ground levels of structures.
The baby pill bug look like dandrif, but they crawl. And are a yellowish white color.
Are they harmful?
Sow bugs do,not rollie pollies or pill bugs.Sow bugs have two sticks on their butt.Sow bugs can bite.
no
my sister use to collect them, they never seemed to live very long. I would feed them the veggies you dont want to eat for supper!
I love Rolly-pollys!
were exactly to pill bugs live outside?
I found mine under rocks and some mulch
They at live plants vegetables leaves, best to get a bottle cap and fill it with water for it to drink from, and also how to tell a male from a female: the female has tiny pouches in her legs to store eggs and males don't. They also like damp areas I have my own pill bug farm and they're doing fine.
Guess what if a rollie pollie is blue or purpley it is sick. They are dormant in the winter. and breath through gill like things! *le gasp*!
They eat paper, carrots, squash, compost, cardboard, lettuce, and apples. I suggest paper though.
they eat old decomposing plant matter, you might give them old carrot tops or orange peels. You can also give them plant matter from outside, they need a rounded diet of fruit, like apple pieces, old leaves or salad fixings, and other plant matter.
Their favorite foods are apples potatoes pears and carrots
