Yo /an/ I want to have some pill bugs, for the fun you know, I know the bases and stuff, but does anyone here have tips, like, How to catch one without hurting his smol body ?

Uhh, just pick it up gently?
Uh Yeah, but like, a idea for a nice trap could be cool

Try to get him to crawl onto a piece of paper or some shit. They aren't exactly hard to catch dude.
How stupid do you have to be not to be able to catch a pill bug? Just lift up a log and grab it. It's not rocket science.
H true but I know how to catch simple pill bugs, I'm talking about rare ones not your everyday pillbug

You have to use a little suckage for the rare ones, like a vacuum cleaner or straw
Get this book, it's good

i have some to keep my terrarium clean. they are detritivores which means they eat the gross stuff other things don't. mine eat the refuse from my amblypygid.
they have a similar respiratory system as a hermit crab (they are isopods, not insects) and as such will drown in very dry conditions so i'd spritz the substrate (organic potting soil) with water every day and straight up wet the soil once a week.
Thank you /an/, I will check the book, and test the vacuum option.
