Vivarium Naturals – Nutra-Pede Protein & Mineral Nutriment
Vivarium Naturals Nutra-Pede is a premium protein and mineral supplement specifically formulated for millipedes and other detritivores commonly kept in bioactive vivariums and naturalistic enclosures. Fortified with chitin, calcium, minerals, and protein-rich ingredients, Nutra-Pede helps support healthy growth, exoskeleton development, molting, and long-term health in captive millipede colonies.
Millipedes rely on a combination of organic matter, minerals, and protein sources to maintain healthy body structure and proper biological function. Nutra-Pede was developed to help supplement essential nutrients that may become depleted in closed vivarium environments over time.
Why Millipedes Need Calcium & Protein
The millipede exoskeleton is composed of chitin fibers strengthened by proteins and mineral deposits such as calcium carbonate. These materials help create the rigid outer shell that protects the animal while also supporting movement and moisture retention.
Proper mineral and protein intake helps support:
• Healthy exoskeleton development
• Stronger molts
• Muscle attachment and movement
• Reduced stress during growth cycles
• Long-term colony health
• Natural feeding behavior
Ideal For
• Millipedes
• Bioactive vivariums
• Isopod colonies
• Detritivore enclosures
• Naturalistic terrariums
• Tropical and temperate setups
Why Choose Nutra-Pede?
Fortified with Calcium & Minerals
Nutra-Pede contains calcium and mineral-rich ingredients designed to help support exoskeleton strength and healthy molting cycles in millipedes and other detritivores.

Chitin is one of the primary structural components of the millipede exoskeleton. Nutra-Pede helps provide additional nutritional support for healthy shell development and maintenance.
Supports Healthy Feeding Response
The nutrient-rich formula encourages natural feeding behavior while helping provide important dietary supplementation within captive enclosures.
Excellent for Bioactive Setups
Nutra-Pede can be used as part of a balanced feeding routine within bioactive vivariums where natural food sources may gradually become depleted over time.
Designed Specifically for Millipedes
Unlike generic invertebrate foods, Nutra-Pede was specifically developed around the nutritional needs of millipedes and detritivorous species commonly kept in captivity.
