So for my millies I have been using Zilla Jungle Mix bedding, but I realized now that its a mixture of fir and peat moss, and I know that millipedes don’t like soft woods. But I have mixed in it a few bags of Zoo Med creature soil and also nepco bird and reptile litter which is basically just small pieces of shredded hard wood, as well as some calcium powder for their exoskeletons. On top of the soil is crushed dead oak and maple leaves. Will this be okay for them even though there is fir in the main part of the substrate? Will the acidity be a problem?
If it’s a problem I’ll redo the substrate and buy an organic potting soil (any brand suggestions?) and have the same mixture just replacing the jungle mix with it. And finally would I have to bake it beforehand, or is baking it unnecessary?
