A. monilicornis hasn't been seen for a month. Should I worry?

Hey everyone, I got an immature A. monilicornis about a month or so back and I haven't seen it since the 9th of May. Should I be concerned or is it likely molting?

It could definitely take that long to molt. I try to offer fresh food between 10 & 12 pm so I can check on them when they are more likely to be active. Good luck; hope he is ok.

I haven't been offering 'treats' as of late. This wouldn't kill the millipede would it?

Wow! Literally as I go check I see it for the first time since. Thanks @mickiem

I offer fresh food at least 2X a week but I don't think they have to have it as long as there is plenty of rotten wood and leaves. You would have to offer such a small amount for one baby bbbee lest you attract fruit flies.
