I will be getting 2 on tuesday
I never gave mine cuttlebone.
But she did love bark.Keep in mind softwoods are harmful.
I collected some bark and leaf litter from outside,but I would freeze/bake and sometimes boil it to kill any mites!!!

Good luck.
I would love to see pics!

Yes,I baked the bark too! Didn't want any unwanted critters to come in.
Softwoods are things like pine,cedar and other woods like that.

Here is a caresheet that helped me alot when I had my girl!

Better late than never. Millipedes do need a source of calcium for a strong healthy exo skeleton. Ground egg shells, ground cuttle fish bone or my favourite tortoise food will all work.
