Isopop Calcium Igloo
Description
Give your isopods their own little hideaway with our unique Isopop Calcium Igloo! Made from gypsum, a naturally occurring calcium sulfate mineral, this distinctive hide combines practical shelter with a health benefits.
Isopods naturally spend much of their time in sheltered spaces beneath bark, wood, leaf litter and other structures. The igloo provides a secure retreat where your colony can hide, rest and establish its own microhabitat.
Because it is made from calcium sulfate gypsum, the igloo also introduces a calcium-rich mineral material into the enclosure. Calcium is an important mineral for isopods, particularly for maintaining their exoskeleton and supporting healthy moulting.
Secure shelter – Provides a protected hide for adults, juveniles and moulting isopods.
Calcium-rich mineral material – Made from gypsum, adding a natural mineral element to the enclosure.
Perfect for humid habitats – The solid mineral structure works naturally within the humid environment of an isopod enclosure.
Naturalistic hardscape – Adds structure and visual interest while giving your colony another place to explore and inhabit.
Suitable for a wide range of isopods – A fun and functional addition to both breeding enclosures and display setups.
Important: The igloo should be considered a habitat feature and additional mineral source, rather than a replacement for a dedicated calcium source such as cuttlebone or limestone. Always provide your isopods with a balanced diet, suitable substrate, leaf litter and reliable access to calcium.
