Hi,
I heard somewhere that you can add pill bugs (rollie pollies) to a terrarium as cleaners and that they also reproduce and the frogs eat their babies. Is this true or completely off base? If I do put some in with my Azureus, will they eat their eggs if/when they lay them? Can they harm or bother the frogs?
I would like to know your results if you go ahead and test it. I believe pill bugs to be herbivores, so I don't think they would eat any eggs. As for eating their young, if they produce, I don't see why the frogs wouldn't, because I know the young have very soft exoskeletons. Great idea possibly though, I dont have any constructive experience here, but does any one have pictures of the pillbugs they have successfully used (hicksonj!) I would be interested to see them. We have some around here, but they as adults are way too big for a frog to eat. They are around 1/2" as adults, but there is alot of them around here in the mountains of NC. It would be an interesting facet to add to a living tank.
Thanks!
