They also like damp areas I have my own pill bug farm and they're doing fine.

Posted on 06/24/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pet Roly-Poly (Pill Bug) By Jilson (323) Contact 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 a website with the facts that follow: http://www.bulldogpestcontrol.com/CritterCriteria.htm 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. Diet: Decaying vegetable matter. Reproduction: Female gives birth to between 24 and 28 young per brood; usually on e to three generations a year; may live as long as two years. Other Criteria: Pillbugs and related sowbugs are the only crustaceans that have become completely adapted to living their whole life on land.

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. Remember to keep things damp and/or give a water source. My son used to collect these when he was small.

Are you keeping them it in an aquariam or? I would think teeny tiny pieces of bread or just crumbs. Good luck.
