Silver Ghosts

Silver Ghost isopods thrive in a high-humidity, bioactive-style enclosure that mimics their natural forest floor habitat. Use a well-draining substrate such as a mix of coco fiber, leaf litter, and decayed wood, and keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide plenty of hiding spots with cork bark, leaves, and moss so they can feel secure and stay out of direct light.

Feed Silver Ghost isopods once a week with yams or other root vegetables, along with a quality fish food or specialized isopod pellet for added protein and nutrients. Always remove uneaten fresh food before it molds, and spot-clean the enclosure regularly. Maintain good ventilation while keeping humidity high, and avoid using chemicals or cleaners near their habitat.

Basic Care Points

• Keep humidity high with a moist, well-draining substrate

• Provide deep leaf litter, cork bark, and moss for hiding and exploring

• Feed weekly with yams or other root vegetables

• Supplement with fish food or isopod pellets for protein

• Remove old food to prevent mold and pests

• Maintain good airflow while preserving moisture

• Avoid chemicals, fragrances, or cleaners near the enclosure

• Check on them regularly to ensure they are active and breeding

Housing & Environment

• Use a secure, escape-proof plastic bin or terrarium

• Drill or provide ventilation holes for fresh air

• Keep the enclosure out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources

• Offer a moisture gradient: one side wetter, one side slightly drier

• Add calcium sources like cuttlebone or crushed eggshells to support healthy molts
