I try to avoid leafy greens and most fruits unless I grow them myself. There's just too much potential for residual pesticides since it's the only way to avoid getting pests on huge fields of these crops. Systemic and translaminar pesticides are commonly used in agriculture and cannot be washed off since they are absorbed by the plant.

I have some kale in the garden grown just for my pets and I freeze fruits from my fruit trees for use throughout the year.
I buy locally sourced and organically grown produce of all kinds, whether it is for me or a pet. I don't think any of us should be partaking biocides of any type. I don't think we have to grow our own but I would urge you to opt for organic for your millipedes, @Ratmosphere.

I think a variety in their diet is optimal. I would say at least twice a week offer something fresh.
