Description
The iconic Rubber Ducky isopod quickly went viral upon their discovery in 2017. With a distinct “ducky” face, their appearance is highly sought after in the industry. Ironically, they love to burrow and hide, so Ducky sightings may be rare until you have a well-established colony.
They’re cute as can be and rewarding to keep, but not beginner-friendly. Duckies will require stable humidity and a good deal of patience.
