Vietnamese Feather Millipedes

Vietnamese Feather Millipedes

Vietnamese Feather Millipedes are an incredibly unique species with a look unlike most millipedes in the hobby. Their long bodies and distinctive "feathered" appearance make them a great choice for anyone looking for something a little more unusual.

They are primarily a display species and spend much of their time exploring through leaf litter and substrate. Like most millipedes, they appreciate plenty of hiding spots and a deep, nutritious substrate to burrow into.

CARE INFORMATION

Vietnamese Feather Millipedes should be kept in a secure enclosure with deep substrate, plenty of decaying hardwood, and a generous layer of leaf litter. Keep the substrate moist without allowing it to become waterlogged, and provide plenty of cork bark and other areas to hide.

Their substrate is an important part of their diet, so a healthy mix of decomposing hardwood and leaf litter is essential. Occasional fruits and vegetables can also be offered.

Difficulty: Intermediate
Handling: Minimal / Occasional
Humidity: Moderate–High
