looks lioke your soil is too compact.. the roots are suffering. do you leave it outside cus the cold can do that to you need to change soil to pro mix or even better coco

def not that bug... you have poor aeration in your soil and are probably overwatering on top of that.
that plant's roots cant breathe

scratch the poor aeration, i see a decent amount of perlite in there... but it looks that way when its either over or under watered

and seeing that your soil is wet id bet its over watered

roly polys crawl up in my soil, they are attracted to the guano i think haha.. but they arent a problem

Poor drainage from the pot, make sure nothing is blocking the holes from the bottom of the pot. that will cause the bottom soil mix of the pot become soggy and stagnant if you continually add water and not realize it that will magnify the problem. perfect conditions for root rot...

or if your letting the soil dry out completly dry that will do it too, but as soon as you water they will spout back up withn a hour so its probably not that...
