Millipedes For Sale UK

Millipedes are properly one of the more underrated corners of the invertebrate hobby. They're quiet, they don't bite, they're fascinating to watch, and most species are genuinely straightforward to care for once you understand the basics. The key thing with millipedes — and this catches some people out — is that their substrate is their main food source. Getting the substrate right matters more than almost anything else, so if you're new to millipede keeping, take the time to read through the individual product descriptions where we've covered diet and setup in detail for each species.

Our selection spans the full difficulty and size range. If you're just starting out, hardy beginner species like the Ivory Millipede, Ghana Speckled Leg (Telodeinopus aoutii), and African Olive are forgiving, active, and breed well without demanding precise conditions. If you've got a bit of experience and want something with more visual impact, species like the Red Fire, Amber, and UV-reactive Hawaiian Glow are well worth a look — just be aware that each has its own quirks when it comes to care, particularly around diet and humidity.

Millipedes also make properly excellent bioactive enclosure inhabitants, working alongside a cleanup crew of isopods and springtails to break down organic waste and aerate the substrate. Whichever species you go for, getting the substrate and calcium right is the foundation of success — browse our accessories range for leaf litter, rotting hardwood, cuttlebone, and the other components that make up a proper millipede setup.
