I dont even think they eat fresh veggies i catch some of em last time also but yea it dont eat and just died but i had once successed but also died I dont know why , What you can give are rotting wet vegetables and rotting stuffs and decaying , Crumbs of bread will also do ( but they seem not to eat it )
You can check this one out :

But i released mine already cause some dies quickly.... And they will get stressed...

My millipedes are good eaters, they will eat fresh fruits and vegetables but they prefer rotting. I was wondering about supplements. What kind of supplements do you recommend?

just wondering are your millipedes wild caught?

[Bombina Bob]

Hi there froglover9. usually dead leaves and bark are good food
for millipedes, ive kept mine for a while now and just collect leaves
from deciduous trees (of course this only applies if they are wild caught)

Suppliments i would use are calcium supps from zoo med and exo terra
and ive heard of vionate suppliment, its not specifically for reptiles but
there are people who use it, i dont know much about it though.

Thanks for the advice. Is calcium supplements good enough or should I give them vitamin supplements too? So far I dust all food with juarasipet calcium supplement.
