Wow 😯 I’ve never had a pet insect/bug. They are super interesting!! I just got 2 pet rats last night! Their names are Ratatouille and Remi :) You are the main RUclipsr that I watched for information and you helped me so so much. Also, do my rats need to have bedding or are they okay with just a pee pad on the bottom? They are acting very happy with their new habitat so far so I’m not sure if I should change it.Thank you so incredibly much.
Some people don't use bedding but i think its a very important aspect of a rats life, it allows them to express their natural behaviours such as digging and foraging so i highly recommend putting some in :)
Emiology Thank you so much! I am so excited. They are super sweet. One is super adventurous while the other is very cuddly. It’s interesting how they can be ying and yang. 💗💗🐁🐀
I'm sorry for your loss of Moose. He was a trooper and a very pretty boy 💖🐀 I didn't hear about it earlier because I am not on Insta or Twitter, and Insta won't let me view stories without a subscription.
I also want to add how much I love their names!!! Magnum and Solero are perfect names! I'm so excited to see how they get on and learn all about them and I'm very relieved that they arrived safetly!!! ♥😂
Oh my gosh, I‘ve been considering getting millipedes for ages! I love that you got some and are spreading awareness of how cool millipedes are as pets.
I really don't like creepy crawlies but seeing you so calm holding them may just change my mind, with your calm and positive attitude! Thank you for helping change perspectives for everybody.
@@Emiology I don't want to offend u but the legs r creeping me out a bit. I just got a giant phobia for insects. Sorry if I offended u. Good video though 👍
I’m excited to get my first giant African millipede. I have 3 leachies now in large naturalistic bioactive enclosures. Even when my leachies are hiding/sleeping I can enjoy the beautiful enclosures.
I know this isn’t directed to me but my rats chew through their hammocks really quickly. Also my boys are quite big so they definitely need something strong and sturdy to stay safe
As long as the material is strong enough to hold the weight of your all rats and is easily washable it should be fine.. but if they chew it a lot you should take it out as the could get their toes caught in the frayed fabric... I use a bandanna in my rats sputnik to make it warmer and they love it!
I'd personally add a digital hydrometer/ thermometer, they are much more accurate and I've known the manual ones to stop working really easily but it's hard to see if they're not working or not! Also, remember to feed your springtails with springtail food or they'll eat your plants or die, I learnt that the hard way!
@@Emiology I supplement the one's in my crested gecko's tank once a week with springtail feed as he doesn't produce a lot of waste, however when I had Giant African Land snails, millipedes and cockroaches together I found I only had to supplement them once every three weeks as they produced a lot more waste so it really depends!
I give my milli a piece of fruit about once a week as supplementary foods. The springtails just eat that. I've had my millipede and the springtails for exactly 10 months and I still see a bunch of springtails in my substrate. And yes, millis poop a lot.
I'm used to seeing the small common black millipedes here in Australia, but these are so fascinating! Little Solero is so cute and Magnum seems like a gentle giant.
That looks so scary and I’m personally disgusted but the fact that you like animals that are like this and that are different from regular pets is really cool! Love your channel too 💗💗🐁🐀
I add uncooked oatmeal to my soil. They don't really come out, so use a black light. I have a shallow water bowl & a hermit crab sponge. Everything else looks fine. 🐀🐾
This video is absolutely magnificent! We had millipedes in our yard when I was young. We've been in a severe drought conditions for 10-12 years and things that depend on the moisture either died out or migrated??? I'm going to get me at least one millipede soon, so I'm so excited to run across your channel! Thank you again for sharing! Love your thousand leggers!
Honestly they are so cute! I have always been a fan of centipedes and millipedes when I was younger. I would go to my Grandmas house and look for them in the yard. Also, some exciting news! I got little baby rats a few days ago, there names are Turnip, Manny, and Parsnip. I learned all the info. I needed from you with the help of your rats. Thank you so much for all your wonderfully made videos! ❤️
I make their food myself following the shunamite diet but changing a few things to suit it to mice :) I struggle with mouse food theres really no good brands I can recommend and theres not as much information about good food I can find
I’ve been finding small wild millipedes in my home, so I wanted to research them, they’re so sweet! Was happily surprised to find them being used as pets, and a video by you, I’ve just recently found you through your rat videos too. 😄 For now, I’ll keep escorting the ones I find outside… think they’ll enjoy it better there!
Magnum’s striped legs are so cool! I’m not really a bug person, but you changed my perspective on these little guys! Also, good job on their enclosure, it looks really good!
In SA we call them shongololos... And I can tell you we DEFINITELY don’t keep them as pets! But we used to hold and play with them when we were little...
I just released my millipede, after housing it for a couple weeks. Biter sweet, but I just didn’t wanna keep him locked up, and he needed to be in his natural habitat. I hope “he” lives and has a good life. He was pleasant to take care of.
Most invertebrates don't understand that they are "locked up". They will be fine as long as you provide a good-sized enclosure and proper care. Animals that you bring into your home could build up an immunity over time and shouldn't be released back outside. And if it's an animal that you purchased, you definitely don't want to release it in a random place since it's most likely not from that area...
Oh, and make sure the water is not too deep for the small millipede to drown in- they should be able to just stand in it. Bug gel is also fine for millipedes unlike tarantulas etc
I got a millipede today! His name is camel he is a rescue and he has mutant colours. I called him camel cause sometimes he hunches his back. I probably should take him to the vet about that….
They are so cool. The big one crawling did give me chills though. I think they are amazing but I don't know what that many time legs would feel like on me. Lol. I am not sure if either of these are ok for millipedes because I don't really know much about them, but from my reptiles knowledge I think it would be really cool to add some isopods to the enclosure as well as a clean up crew and just something else to look at, a pothos plant, and maybe some other pieces of cork. The cork doesn't have to be cork rounds but I find it cool to take a half round piece and bury one side to where it makes a little cave. Again I am not sure if any of this would work for millipedes but they are just ideas. I can't wait to see more of them!
There’s springtails in the enclosure but apparently it’s not a good idea to add Isopod as when the millipedes are moulting the Isopods can injure them, I’m not sure how accurate this is but I’ve heard people say it so I don’t want to risk it!
theyre so cute!! though i would switch to a digital hydrometer since i believe theyre more reliable! also philodendrons are more tropical plants so it should do well in there!! best of luck
I looooove my millipedes!!!!! I have a fire head, giant African and an Cameroon green! Very rarely see any of them but it makes me super happy when their food disappears XD and it's ridiculously exciting when someone pops out to say hello!!
I found tiny millipedes in my house and i just took them outside and set them free since i didn't know what to do with them (they were the size of the bumblebeemillipede)
Just watched for the first time. Your millipedes are super cute! I get wild ones in my apartment all the time, I rescue each one and put them outside 😊. They used to scare me, but I'm over that now. ❤
Millipedes need at least two times the length of their body for the enclosure and if you have more than one millipede you need even more space and I intend to add more in the future ☺️
Omg I’ve never heard of pet millipedes. I used to keep rent caterpillars from the tree in my yard as “pets” though (probably not the best idea, I was a kid x.x) This would be scary for me but props to you for being open to all kinds of pets!

My notification went off late!!! I love your videos and I love milipeedes and I think it's really exciting that you have new pets to teach us all about!!! ♥😂
Well, decorations and whatnot are mostly for the entertainment of the humans, not the inverts themselves. As much as I would like to own enclosures like these, I'm not crafty and I'm not a fan of decorating. If someone would prepare a proper and nice-looking enclosure for me in advance, I'd totally buy a pre-made one, but the price is also something to consider...
"Try not to get anxiety challenge", I'm terrified of bugs but still wanted to watch this.
They’re not bugs, they’re inverts :)
Sameeeeee
I’m still a lil itchy but they’re kinda cute
ahhh same
I’m the same I hate bugs I like snails tho I’ve had African snails and normal snails before as pets 😁
When magnum started to like stand up it was so funny 😂😂
Olivia Martyniak it was
I put subtitles on and it said
"Obviously they will go into the soil and make turtles"
😂
lol i wish they made turtles
Isn't that obvious everyone knows they make turtols
Lol
Oh I thought they made crocodiles
Their little antennae and the bumblebee colouring are so cute. Solero is so tiny! I love their names too
I just got two rats. Their names are Ben and Willard.
Sophia Nedelsky what are they like now?
I love the name Willard its precious, Im getting two boys soon and Imma name em Finn and Peachie

Rats are the best pets
Yay millipedes! I’m getting rats soon and I was wondering if you can use bandanas for hammocks? Love your videos!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd say as long as it's strong fabric, I'd maybe layer two :) however, I'm not emi 😂

I love millipedes and gained the love for then TODAY when I got to touch them and now I’m getting some
ooooh, they're so pretty! The way they move their legs is soo hypnotic. I loved the tiny ones you could find in danish nature as a kid.
I am so proud of you and think any animal you put your mind into owning will have the best life EVER!!!!

You should make a" Good treats that you can give rats" vid. Love your videos!
With millipedes I would make it a LOT smaller. My dad works at UIC college (biology professor) and dose use millipedes in his lab
Millipedes need at least two times the length of their body for the enclosure and if you have more than one millipede you need even more space and I intend to add more in the future ☺️
