Later, I taped several plastic cups to the inside of a shoebox, each cup stocked with the aforementioned things, and raised them almost in their own pens. I once had a pregnant female pillbug, and she gave birth to her babies. They were tiny and off-white. At that point, I released them into the backyard. Ah, childhood... And finally...
