Or will they eat each other and/or each other's babies?
Also is there problem keeping different species of each together?

I have tried searching the boards but can't find this specific question.

Thanks
Kevin

um, many people use the terms pill and sow bugs interchangeably to refer to the same types of organisms.

Then can members of the genus Armadillidium and Porcellio live together?

I understand that they are the same type (isopods) but there are differences.

It's only a "pill bug" if it can roll into a ball, Mori :)

And they're always living together when I find them in the wild.
