the millipede? different species prefer different foods, N. americanus mainly eat decaying hardwoods (like oak and beech leaves) and rotting hardwood mulch, I use rotting beech tree mulch, they also have cuttlefish bone for calcium, other species of millipede (especially the Giant African Black Millipede) will eat lots of fruit and vegetables as well, and even carrion in the wild.

They arent actually Hedgehogs, despite their name, their Tenrecs, they are quite easy to look after, and unlike Hedgehogs (which I also keep) can be kept together, they only get to around 15cm, about the size of a small rat or large hamster, I keep my two in a 4 foot vivarium, they are always heated to around 24-26c as they are from Madagascar though my ones were bred in the UK, their heating isnt really needed at the moment, because its been quite warm here in South Wales recently, they are fed mainly live mealworms, also a chicken and egg mixture, as well as dried cat food, they arent classed as a dangerous or potentially invasive species, so a license isnt needed to keep them here in the UK.
