A Unique Christmas Gift for Kids (and Kids at Heart!)
Looking for a fun, easy, and educational gift? These self-sustaining mini ecosystems featuring designer isopods (a.k.a. roly-polies) are perfect for any kid on your list—or anyone who loves low-maintenance “desk pets.”
Backstory:
What started as my 6-year-old son Kai's dream to sell his favorite backyard pets has grown into a creative way to share his love for isopods. While regular roly-polies didn’t have much of a market, Kai discovered the demand for bioactive mini ecosystems featuring designer isopods. His creations have been a hit, selling out at multiple craft shows as kids and adults alike fall in love with these fascinating, easy-to-care-for terrariums.
These ecosystems are fun to watch and educational—perfect for a desk or shelf to observe unique isopod behaviors. Plus, they make a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift!
Available Sizes:
Small Glass Canister (metal lid) – $25
Medium Glass Canister (metal lid) – $30
Large Glass Canister (glass lid) – $35
Each terrarium is custom-made to order by Kai and comes fully set up, ready to enjoy, with your choice of two designer isopod species ( Dairy Cows or Powder Oranges) to bring the ecosystem to life. These aren’t your average backyard roly-polies—they’re truly something special! *Some species are an added cost based on how rare they are.
Order now to bring a little wonder and curiosity into someone’s life this holiday season!
Thank you for supporting Kai and his dream to share his passion for these amazing creatures! (Fun fact: Isopods aren’t insects—they’re crustaceans!)
Wauconda Pickup. Willing to meet if needed on weekends if we are too far.
