Update:
The experiment has gone well insofar, with no abnormal deaths. I crushed, added, and thus used up most of what little hardwood leaves I had left, but I was able to collect some more recently. Here's to hoping their good!
I haven't seen any absolutely verifiable eating of the expanded pellet substrate, though a few times it looked like some of the specimens were chewing on it. It holds its shape remarkably well, so that tunnels left by the millipede's burrowing activities often remain days to even weeks later.
@Ratmosphere, unfortunately I discovered mold in this batch and ended up having to throw the whole thing into the garden bed. Gonna try again with what few pellets I have left here soon though...
Thanks,
