ZooMed Creatures Isopod Banquet Block

Overview

The Zoo Med Creatures® Isopod Banquet® Block is a calcium-rich, vitamin-fortified food source designed to keep your isopod colonies healthy and thriving. Isopods have exceptionally high calcium requirements due to their hard exoskeletons and frequent molting cycles. This block not only fulfills those needs but also doubles as a long-lasting food source, featuring high-protein crumbles embedded within a calcium base. Perfect for bioactive habitats and breeding colonies, it’s an easy and effective way to support the long-term health of all isopod species, including Armadillidium, Cubaris, and Porcellio spp.
