millipede nutrition

[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.

[froglover9]

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.

[Bombina Bob]

usually calcium suppliments should be enough, you can put the others on if you want though

[froglover9]

Thanks for the great advice.

Would these be helpful in my planted tomato frog tank? I've heard of some species of millipedes helping with the clean up along with woodlice and springtails. What other bugs would help out in a tank without being harmful to the frogs or plants? Thanks

I dont think millipedes would be good with frogs because all millipedes excrete a toxic poison
whenever handled or touched, wood lice and springtails would work best.
