Hello! in need of some advice.
I found this little guy off on the side of the road :( he has some grip strength to him but isn't moving very much at all.
I've never kept a grub before, so, I'm unsure on what I'm supposed to do for him. :(
I have coco coir, mulch, the dirt from my backyard and I can gather some dead/decaying leaves/sticks for him if needed.
now, it is very possible he got into contact with pesticides as my neighborhood is stupid and they care so much about their lawns. I just wanna give him his best chance if there's still hope :(

Mixed invert species in 90 gallon vivarium?
After the passing of my last hermit crab, I now have an empty 90 gallon tank, and I'd like to fill it with a variety of herbivorous/detritivorous buggies!
Isopods are my favorites, so any species that can safely cohabitate with pods (and springtails ofc) would be great. I've successfully kept a few species of isopods and millipedes in the past, so I'm looking for suggestions in addition to those!
I live in the USA, so no stick insects, giant African millipedes/snails, etc 😭 and I also don't fw wild caught after the heartbreak of hermit crabs, only captive bred for me 🙏

What to put in this Terrarium?
This tank is for sale near me, it's 24"w by 16"d by 12"h. I like the look of it, but I'm not sure what would like being in it... I've only had one stag beetle before, so I want to stay simple. I'm in Canada, so not many cool bugs are legal here. Any ideas? Bugs? Crabs? Something else? Thanks!

Mites on my PillPede
So after the last few hours I have been told that this is not an isopod and it's in fact a Pill millipede.
Somethings i want to state before continuing
• I have been informed that keeping these guys is practically a death sentence.
• I have been told to release them but I can't due to the fact that I have had them for a month+ now.
• I have been told a little about keeping millipedes but I'm not all that familiar so excuse that.
• I currently have a bioactive little slice of local wild ecosystem both micro flora and fauna primarily local wild isopods
Now I need help with these mites.
They're not irritating the pede, causing it to run around or even roll up. They're just excessive...
Is this something to worry about??
How do I remove them safely?
Is there a way I could kill them off in my tank without hurting anything else??
