What do you feed a millipede and how often?

Millipedes are decomposers, meaning that they feed on decaying plant matter. They are not picky eaters and will consume most types of vegetative material, including leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. Millipedes can also eat dead insects, fungi, and even animal carcasses.

In captivity, millipedes can be fed a variety of foods, including:

* Fresh vegetables: Leafy greens, such as lettuce, kale, and spinach, are good choices. Other vegetables that millipedes enjoy include carrots, cucumbers, and zucchini.

* Fruits: Millipedes can be given a variety of fruits, such as apples, oranges, bananas, and grapes.

* Dead leaves: Millipedes will also eat dead leaves, which can be collected from your backyard or from a local park.

* Fish flakes: Commercial fish flakes can be used as a supplement to the millipede's diet.

Millipedes should be fed 2-3 times per week. The amount of food that you offer should depend on the size of the millipede. Smaller millipedes will only need a small amount of food, while larger millipedes will require more.

It is important to make sure that the millipede's food is always fresh and clean. Leftover food can spoil and attract pests, so it is important to remove any uneaten food from the enclosure regularly.

Millipedes also need a constant source of moisture. You can provide this by placing a water dish in the enclosure or by misting the enclosure regularly with water.
