🛠️ Care Guide

🔹 Enclosure: Use a well-ventilated terrarium or sealed plastic box with fine ventilation holes to maintain humidity.
🔹 Substrate: A deep layer (5–8 cm) of coconut fiber, organic soil, and decayed leaf litter with plenty of rotting wood and limestone chunks.
🔹 Temperature: Keep between 22–26°C (72–79°F). Avoid dropping below 20°C for long periods.
🔹 Humidity: High humidity (80%–90%) is essential. Keep part of the substrate damp while allowing a small dry area for balance.
🔹 Hiding Spots: Provide cork bark, moss, and leaf litter—Rubber Duckies love to tunnel and hide.
🔹 Food: Offer decaying leaves, rotting wood, shrimp pellets, fish flakes, and cuttlebone for calcium.

 

🐣 Breeding & Colony Growth

🔹 Slow breeders—expect gradual colony growth over time.
🔹 Females brood eggs in a pouch until tiny white mancae emerge.
🔹 Consistent humidity and warmth are key to successful reproduction.
