Roly polys?

Post by ZuZu »

I have heard on a few sites that rolys are amazing for mold and breed on their own and every thing! but are they really ok for hermies (I've been wondering about it and have a jar full of them next to the computer if they are good for mold) please answer! I want to know! :D

One does need to be quite selective about the rolly polly's if the opt to try them. (know for a fact they came in contact with NO insecticides or other harmful chemicals)

I have seen ones that live in salt water and brackish water are those safe
I don't think they fell in because they swim in it,and when I find them they are allot of them

My hubby and I were gathering wood the other day and ready to split some for our wood burning stove. Moving the wood... there were rolly pollies under the logs? So they are still out and about here... just a little slower depending on how cool it was during the night or is during the day.
