Hey guys,
I just got home after a few days and I found one of my 2” bumblebee millipedes torn to pieces. Almost in different segments. I began digging around just to see if it was a molt or not. It defiantly is not a molt. I originally had two small 2” bumble bee millipedes and a 4” North American Giant millipede. When I left I had a good supply of food and water in the enclosure. The food I had left was still there and there was water in the dish. I also put decaying leaves and oak in the enclosure so despite, there should’ve been enough resources for all of them. I’m so concerned and distraught from this, I have never had a pet of mine die in this way or from anything other than natural causes. Is it possible the Giant millipede ate the smaller bumble bee millipede? Or perhaps my bumble bee had trouble molting and died anyways and then the Giant millipede tore it apart after it died? I cannot believe this happened and am quite upset, as I feel I have done everything right and have taken care of them with great responsibility. Any answers or suggestions to what has happened would help.
