About Magic Potion
Magic Potion is a colourful line of Armadillidium vulgare, the classic pill bug. Each one is creamy white, splashed with yellow and dotted with black, and no two look exactly alike. Children love watching them roll into tiny balls.
Magic Potion care guide
- Keep the setup on the drier side with one moist corner.
- Calcium is important for healthy moults, so always leave cuttlebone in the box.
- In hot Kerala months, keep the box in the coolest room, away from direct sun.
- Breeding is moderate, so give the colony a few months to build up.
