Theoretically, any animal can be a "pet", but as roly poly bugs don't exactly have long life spans, it would be kind of cruel to take them from their natural environment unless they were endangered there and could not be relocated to another place. If taken from a natural environment, they should be kept in a terrarium with plenty of dirt. Please don't take them, though. Its cruel to do so.

Roly poly bugs do not eat ants. These insects enjoy eating dead or rotting plants. Roly poly bugs can eat the roots of live plants. However, since these organisms are harder for them to chew and digest they can be seen eating the leaves and other foliage that has fallen off of these plants.

Believe it or not, they are crustaceans, like lobsters. Some crustaceans, like the pill bug or roly poly, live on land.
