pill bugs

How do you breed pill bugs? Is there a better bug to breed? I have a meal worm colony for my geckos/chameleon but I need to diversify thier diets.

hi and welcome to the forums i just got some eco earth and put wc pill bugs in there and kept the dirt moist, threw some shredded lettuce and carrots and they breed but throw out the wc when they die because wc could have parasites
