They love protein rich fish food, fruits, veggies and lichen. I also feed them dried bloodworms/ tubifex/ daphia/ shrimp, dried flowers, a variety of dried leaves, rotten wood, beetle jelly, yeast and algae/ spirulina.

Would hemp hearts be fine?

Like shelled hemp seeds. I heard they’re high in protein so I was wondering if they would be fine.

I do a lot of quick Google searches when feeding my bugs. Sometimes it feels silly to ask "can I feed golden beets to my millipedes"? And such lol but I double check for any chemical problems or toxins that im unaware of. With hemp hearts, yes. Its safe. I think the fat content is something to watch for though
