⚠️ 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

Armadillidium nasatum is a widespread European pillbug species, easily identified by its elongated “nose-like” frontal plate that gives the species its name. Found commonly in the UK and mainland Europe, it is a hardy, adaptable isopod that makes an excellent addition for keepers of all levels.

This species thrives in a variety of conditions, preferring enclosures with good ventilation, a clear moisture gradient, and plenty of leaf litter and decaying wood. They reproduce well in captivity, and their larger size compared to some other Armadillidium species makes them an interesting display species.

With their distinctive head shape, robust body, and easy care needs, Armadillidium nasatum is both a reliable choice for beginners and a classic species for experienced keepers looking to expand their European isopod collection.
