Why do millipedes live on top of their food? 🐛Our Florida Ivory Millipedes’ habitat is made of bioactive substrate, which also doubles as their typical meal! While they also receive fruits and veggies a couple times a week, their main source of nutrition is primarily made up of the substrate, which consists of leaf, litter, rotting wood, and decaying plants. They also like to make the most of their meal, using it as a tunnel system and a place to lay their eggs.
