I recently got some pill bugs from my backyard (15) and they then had babies. I need to know what to feed them and how long it takes for them to grow up.

They like a moist environment and eat things like lettuce and squash. Thrifty Fun has an entire guide:www.thriftyfun.com/
In the wild, pill bugs eat mostly decomposing vegetation -- vegetables, fruits, plants, grasses and weeds. When raising pill bugs in captivity, you can feed them fish flakes, apples, carrots, potatoes, lettuces and wild leaf litter. After preparing dinner or dessert, you can throw your vegetable scraps in the pill bug habitat. You don't necessarily have to offer rotting food, but pill bugs will definitely devour vegetation that has sat out a few days and turned soft. Do not offer food that has molded.

I feed mine by giving them cardboard and leaves
They love little bits of vegetable or fruit. I use a peeler and make thin slices so the babies can eat. They seem to love zucchini. I also give them a tiny bit of my dogs sweet potato/chicken dog food. I leave a pile of dry oatmeal in the tank as well. Never leave moldy food in the pot or tank.
Baby pill bugs eat the same thing any other pill bug would eat. They can eat any decomposing leaves or fruits/veggies. Pill bugs live for about 2-3 years.
