Hello I'm raising baby millies and was wondering if I should use calcium powder supplement. Please keep in mind I can't get a hold of oak leaves or any other kind of leaf. Because of the danger of parasites.

Sure you can, lots of people use em. Just bake em, boil em, or microwave em. I microwave, put all the leaves in a bowl with a lid, fill it up with water, put the lid on with a corner up to leave space for steam to escape and then let it go for 5 mins or so. The steam should kill anything in it. I use bark and rocks from outside all the time too, I bake those at 300 for 20 mins or so.

Another way to take care of foreign leaves is to just throw them in the oven for a half hour or so.

As for cuttlebone, I tried it but my millipedes completely ignored it.
