⚠️ Shipping Update – Heatwave Delays

Due to the ongoing UK heatwave, we've temporarily paused shipping of all live livestock and plants to ensure they arrive safely.

The good news is that temperatures are forecast to drop significantly next week, and we'll be resuming dispatches.

Current dispatch schedule:

  • Orders placed 29th June – 5th July: Dispatching Monday.
  • Orders placed 6th July – 12th July: Dispatching Tuesday & Wednesday.
  • New orders placed from today: Dispatching from 27th July.

We've built up a large backlog during the heatwave, so we're bringing in additional staff and implementing a new workflow to get orders out as quickly as possible.

We sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. The welfare of our livestock and plants will always come first.

If you would prefer not to wait, we're happy to offer a full refund. Simply get in touch and we'll arrange this for you.

Thank you for your understanding,

Adam & the MicroExotics Team

Description

The Armadillidium vulgare ‘Gem Mix’ is a colourful and variable morph of the common pillbug, producing a stunning mix of vibrant patterns and shades. Each colony develops its own unique blend of colours, making this morph especially exciting for collectors who enjoy the unpredictability of genetics in isopods.

Hardy and easy to keep, this species thrives in a wide range of conditions and makes an excellent choice for beginners as well as experienced keepers looking for a hardy, attractive morph. Provide them with a balanced habitat of leaf litter, decaying wood, and good ventilation, and they will reproduce readily.

The rolling-up ability of Armadillidium vulgare adds to their appeal, giving them both a defensive behaviour and a charming display for keepers. The ‘Gem Mix’ morph is particularly rewarding if you enjoy watching colour variations develop over generations.
