  • Join two of our insect experts, Sierra and Andrew, as they show some of the subtler points of caring for Millipedes. 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 for us, nature lovers, quite a few of them make great pets! Easy to care for, inexpensive, and colorful, we'll focus on 4 species that are well suited for the beginner, easy to care for, and inexpensive

    Video is really interesting, however, the sound quality is horrific.
    Time for a make-over! :)
    Also, you didn't seem to mention the Giant Pink Foot Millipede, which is what I was hoping to learn about...

    I recently got two millipedes from an impulse buy and I'm finding it to be very difficult to find a proper substrate from them. From what I have heard, your product has a really strong smell and contains coco fibre, which will cause impaction to millipedes as they cannot digest it, so I am skeptical about purchasing it.

    A couple questions- How many plants should a 20 gal Long dart frog tank have, im afraid of over planting or under planting. Also do you recommend pillow moss or spag moss for dart frogs? Finally, I live in Chicago and want to order plants; would they arrive in healthy condition with the mild temps?

      @gaecoomforeeskin4842 Рік тому +1

      a little late but i say if you’re able to provide a good environment for the plants you should underplant rather than over. i’d say 2-3 large leaf plants and 2-3 small leaf plants for texture combinations, and then letting the plants fill in all the extra space

    I found a tiny millipede in my bathtub and I can’t bring it outside it will die 😭 I need help idk what I’m doing or what kind of millipede it is. Any tips will help. I put it into a small enclosure I had for my baby jumpers it’s about 4inches by 4inches and I put about an inch of substrate. I also put some small rocks and a plastic plant inside. I put some dead fruit flies and strawberries as well. PLEASE HELP I WANT THE BB TO LIVE LOL side note I named it Dickweed the millipede

    Can you keep a bumblebee millipede in the same tank as a smokey oak millipede?

    • @JoshsFrogs
      @JoshsFrogs  5 років тому +5

      It definitely is possible with great success, yes! Millipedes are generally pretty non aggressive and will generally only eat animal matter if it's already dead.

    • @JoshsFrogs
      @JoshsFrogs  4 роки тому

      So long as they are species with similar humidity requirements multiple species can thrive in the same enclosure! Centipedes are the angry legs, millipedes are kinda just bumbly and shy.
