Millipedes are pretty incredible arthropods - these critters are known for possessing hundreds of legs and peacefully munching on decaying wood and leaf litter on the forest floor. There are over 12,000 species of millipedes in the world, and fortunately, quite a few of them make great pets! Easy to care for and colorful, they are well suited for the beginner, and can live for several years under proper care. The single most important thing about housing millipedes is their substrate. Substrate acts as a place for the millipede to dig, eat, hide, drink, and live in. Millipedes are also great in housed in a group. They are not aggressive towards each other - just make sure to provide plenty of substrate, food, and hiding places.

FEEDING: Millipedes will primarily feed on their substrate - they love decomposing wood and leaves! This should make up the bulk of their diet, making it necessary to change out spent substrate (appears as little dirt balls) with fresh substrate on a regular basis. You'll also want to provide the occasional fresh fruit or leafy greens, or diets such as Repashy Bug Burger, which provides a much needed source of calcium. Make sure to remove food if it ever becomes moldy. Offering a bit of food once a week or so (in addition to their substrate) is plenty.

My sisters Boston terrier is infested with bugs twice as large as a flea and orange/ red in color, They do not hop, and my sister was able to pull them off. She said they covered her dog. They are not on her 2 cats at all. The dog uses a doggie door to go in the backyard for the bathroom. She lives in Maryland. She's lived there with her dog for 10 years and has never had this happen, what could they be?
Hi there We’ve just found a brown slug-like animal or possibly mucus on our dogs inner thigh crease (above her genitals). It has a vein type structure within it and we suspect it may be a leech (Eastern coast of NSW, Australia). It had white dried mucus surrounding it. Have you seen this before? She is 9 months old and was desexed at 6 months with no complications. Thanks in advance Emily
Why are my dogs feet and kegs stained pink and sorta hairless now
I just purchased a baby leopard gecko from petco. I noticed it was the smallest of all of them and occasionally it will shake its legs individually like thumper... what could this be ? It eats really good!
What is THIS? We found it on my aunts cat! She still has claws, but this looks like an extension of her foot pad?
I have a two year old african pygmy hedgehog. He seems to have a pinkish blister behing his left ear although it doesnt look infected. Is somehting wrong
Unusual redness found on my cat’s left back toes!
My dog might have come in contact with a spiky elm caterpillar . Barely if anything. We were walking at the park and stop to say hello to someone and then I saw a little caterpillar next to her and Cleo smelling it. What are the signs to look for is it really poisonous? Any experience with this caterpillar’s?
