Rotten White Hardwood - Millipede / Isopod Diet
Supercharge your substrate with the ultimate biological catalyst. Our Rotten White Hardwood is an absolute necessity for creating a self-sustaining bioactive ecosystem.
Rotten white wood is absolutely essential when keeping millipedes and other detritivores as it makes up a large portion of their diet.
Our premium Rotten White Hardwood is harvested during natural decay, specifically targeted to when wood reaches the crucial "white rot" stage. During this process, specialized forest fungi break down the dense, unpalatable lignin within the timber, leaving behind a soft, flaky, cellulose-rich material that is incredibly easy for invertebrates to digest.
When mixed thoroughly into your substrate or layered beneath cork bark flats, this wood functions as a slow-release nutrient battery. It provides a constant, natural source of biocompounds for your clean-up crew while vastly improving soil structure by preventing compaction and locking in essential, uniform moisture gradients.
Whether you are mixing a custom soil for a prize tarantula display or establishing a specialized Cubaris isopod culture, this rotten wood is the missing ingredient that turns basic dirt into a thriving, living habitat.
- This rotten wood is made from rotting logs with white rot rather than wood chips and so will contain some larger chunks of wood and bark.
- This rotten wood has been naturally dried to ensure it is safe to use for your critters. Occasionally the wood will be sent partially dried due to demand,but is still safe for your critters!
