What do pill bugs need for food?

Pill bugs, also known as roly-polies, are decomposers and primarily feed on decaying plant matter. They are also omnivores and will eat a variety of things, including:

* Dead leaves

* Rotten wood

* Fungi

* Fruit and vegetable scraps

* Algae

* Animal feces

They play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, contributing to healthy soil ecosystems.

While they may occasionally nibble on living plants, they are not considered pests and actually benefit gardens by enriching the soil.
