Trichorhina tomentosa (Dwarf White Isopod)

Trichorhina tomentosa, commonly known as the Dwarf White Isopod, is a small, burrowing species native to Central and South America. These soft-bodied isopods thrive in high-humidity environments, making them an ideal cleanup crew for bioactive enclosures. Their rapid reproduction and burrowing habits make them especially useful in maintaining healthy soil conditions in amphibian and reptile habitats.

Care Information

  • Should be watered and fed twice a week
  • Diet includes yams, root vegetables, fish food, leaf litter, and supplemental protein sources
  • Prefers a well-ventilated enclosure with coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, and decaying wood
  • Thrives in temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C)
  • Burrowing species that prefers to stay hidden under substrate and organic matter

Live Arrival Guaranteed

Note: Due to their small size and burrowing nature, Dwarf White Isopods are best suited for moist environments where they can establish thriving colonies.

Above and beyond

I ordered a good amount of isopods and springtails they all arrived lively and ready to start working on my terrarium cleaning crew. I have no complaints this company is sending me some more isopods since some of my order were sold out but the owner made it right by asking what I wanted if a refund or some other isopods. I’m currently waiting on my order but I’m expecting it to be right this time. To make the long story short you get good looking isopods and springtails without any free delivery loopholes or trickery to get you to overpay for these critters. I have no complaints I’m just waiting on my additional order now. It’s important to mention that the packaging was perfect they went above and beyond in putting actual insulation in the box and not just cheap styrofoam. I’m a returning customer and I hope I can establish a good relationship with this company since so far they have treated me good.

They’re perfect!

Everything was packed well and arrived alive and healthy despite the high temperatures this summer. There's a nice range of sizes/ages in the mix and shipping was fast. This was my first time ordering from here and overall it was a great experience.
