Two nights ago I discovered tiny plings in my Florida ivory tank! I counted 30-something, but those were only the ones against the glass. They're only 1/2 cm long and clearish, and only have 8-10 legs (unfortunately they're way too tiny for my bleh camera to pick up right now). I've never successfully bred pedes before and I'm super excited and kinda nervous.
I'm feeding them a 1 to 3 mix of brown sugar and water, as suggested in Millipedes in Captivity. I'm not sure how often to offer it, though. My D. macracanus rushed over to pig out on the sugar water as well.
Any tips on caring for my new brood?
