Isopods (pill bugs)

[brandy101010]

Last night I was looking through the classifieds on Kingsnake.com.
I found an add for pill bugs. I can not find it today :main_angry:
The add said they could be used as feeders for most lizards and are high in calcium. They seem pretty easy to care for and I have always been found of them. They are kinda cute.

Has anyone ever used these as a feeder?

I found an African Fat tail care sheet that listed them as a good feeder(that I can't find now) and this Leopard gecko caresheet.

What do you guys think?

I found a place that sells them as feeders.

Are these the little gray bugs that roll up in a ball if you bother them? I keep a few in each of my planted tanks because I heard that they clean up droppings. I see them occasionally in the one cage that I put some in nearly 2 years ago.

Yes those are the ones! I have heard about them being used as "cleaners" before. I thought that was pretty cool.
