Ventilation/Airflow is needed as population grows to avoid off gas build up and potential colony crash. Feeding is fairly simple with either fresh vegetables like squash or carrots. You can use dry powders like pangea or repashy. Ventilation vs. Airflow Let's first understand the concept. Let's take sharks as an example. A shark will constantly move in order to pass water through the gill and provide oxygenated water of the them for the exchange process to work. So, if you translate this to an isopod environment, airflow is key. Ventilation is the process of air exchange. Basically, it is the defined process by which the lungs pull in air into the lungs and allows the alveoli to exchange CO2 for O2. This is helped by way of the diaphragm. Now, the understanding makes sense because isopods have no diaphragm to engage the flow of air into the lungs. This is where airflow is key. You can provide 100% ventilation but without airflow there cannot be air exchange.
