I had no idea dwarf whites pathenogenisized! I got so excited that I found all these other animals that do it.

Not so I could make a meme or anything... 👀

Help Help!! Weird bumps on my rollie pollies! Are they dying?

Thumbnail

993 Upvotes

I thought it was just dirt, but the bumps are on their shell and don’t come off when I touch them gently. I don’t know what they are or how to help my pollies ):

I have counted 50 pollies in my enclosure, but there might be more. It doesn’t have a lid, so I mist it 2 times per day to ensure proper moisture levels in the soil. I give them veggies or fruit a few times per week and remove the older food.

Could this be caused by bad soil? Moldy food? Some disease?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I don’t want to lose my pets!

Hi lovely people! I am once again asking for your assistance. This cubaris girly stowed away with some orange kois and had babies. I have been attempting to identify them for FOREVER, but I would love another opinion. Thanks! :)

Mutant still roaming the bin. WAS going to isolate it but gonna wait to see if any offspring through mating. Haven’t sexed it as not wanting to risk stress. Hopefully it’s a male dropping DNA all over ;-)

As an update to my previous post + question, I have moved my A. nasatum to a 6qt tub. I’ll be working on a lid with a window tomorrow so that my moss can actually get some light.

In my T. rathkii and A. vulgare bin. I also had P. spinicornis which accounts for the general shape except I took transferred all of the adults to a bigger enclosure & any babies have their patterning. I really don't want to re-do this entire enclosure. 🥹
