At a Glance

Housing & Setup

Enclosure dimensions below are length depth height.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Observe rather than handle frequently. Millipedes may release irritating defensive fluids: wash hands after maintenance and keep them away from eyes and mouth. Do not combine with predatory invertebrates.

Feeding & Nutrition

Decaying hardwood and leaf litter are the staple food and must remain available continuously. Add small portions of suitable vegetables and occasional fruit; remove leftovers before mould develops. Supply an appropriate calcium source. Do not replace the edible substrate with fruit or feeder insects.

Routine Care

Check food, water or drinking droplets, ventilation and substrate moisture regularly. Remove waste and spoiled food promptly; avoid disturbing animals during moulting. Keep doors and ventilation gaps secure.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the supplied animals current size and feeding routine, and have its enclosure ready before collection.
