Give it four to five inches of substrate with plenty of white-rotted hardwood mixed through, because the wood is the food, not decoration. A new millipede goes under and stays under for about three days before it settles in, which worries people who think something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. When the substrate goes fine and grainy like coffee grounds and the level drops, the wood is gone and it is time to top up rather than tear the bin down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaf litter goes on top of all of it, so a bag of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mixed-hardwood-leaf-litter-for-isopods-heat-treated\"\u003emixed hardwood leaf litter\u003c\/a\u003e belongs in the same order.
