I've had a Giant African Millipede for about three weeks now, and she's been active and healthy up until three days ago. She is under a little cave in her cage, hasn't eaten, or moved for three days. I figure she could be molting, but she is about nine inches long, so I don't know if she has any more growing to do. Could it be a lack of calcium? The pet store said they never fed them a calcium supplement, and they were fine. I am really worried, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. If any more information is needed, I'll post. Thanks.

Sorry I don't have an answer, but this morning my male (about 10 inches long) was behaving in the same way - I've only had the pair of them (a female too) for about a month, and both have been fine up til now. She's acting just fine, but he's only wiggling his front and very rear legs, he doesn't move any legs for about a three-inch length near his rear end. I checked on him at noon but haven't seen him since...if he improves I'll let you know but I'm interested in finding out what happened to him too. Good luck with yours.
