🔬 Ingredients
Organic Compost (Detritus‑Rich Base) - Provides foundational nutrition for millipedes and microfauna
Premium Decayed White Rot Wood - Essential for digestion and growth
Hardwood Bark & Additional Rotten Hardwood Crumble
Flake Soil Blend - Adds advanced nutrition for high‑demand species
Pulverized Limestone Powder - Supplies calcium for exoskeleton health
Oak & Forest Floor Leaf Litter Mix - Offers diverse, natural detritus for continuous feeding
Organic Mycorrhizal Fungi - Establishes beneficial microbes and enhances soil health
Charcoal - Boosts microbial growth, improves aeration, and helps capture ammonia
Every ingredient is selected to support a balanced, self‑sustaining bioactive system.
❄️ Clean & Safe - Frozen Before Shipping
All substrate is frozen prior to shipment to eliminate pests and unwanted hitchhikers. Freezing preserves beneficial bacteria and microbial life far better than heat‑treating, ensuring your substrate arrives nutrient‑rich and ready to use.
🪶 Instructions for Use
Provide 3-4 inches of substrate for most millipede species; large burrowers may prefer deeper layers
Maintain consistent moisture — substrate should feel damp but never soggy
Add leaf litter and decayed wood for continuous feeding
Reseal unused substrate to prevent pests from entering the bag
