Stick Insects eggs,adults, littleones Pic.
Hi
I have attached a pic. I do not have a clue what the Stick Insects we have, it would be cool if someone knows lol... What I do know we have to many!!. My Husband started with 2 years ago given to him by daughters school. We have since given 1000's to schools etc. My Husband has to get rid of eggs when he cleans the cage also he lets some out in the summer but there always seems to be 100's left. I can't pick them up myself and get freaked out when I see stick insects that have escaped climbing my walls at home.. If anyone wants some or would like some eggs in the post please feel free to contact me.. postage free, Stick Insects , eggs free... lol  samantha

Re: Stick Insects eggs,adults, littleones Pic.
The photo is of an adult Indian stick insect (Carausius morosus). This is the most commonly kept type of stick insect. They do best on privet leaves and can also eat brmable (blackberry) leaves and rose leaves. Indian stick insect are all female and lay eggs which hatch into more females. The book "Keeping Stick Insects" by Dorothy Floyd tells you all about them and describes other types too.
You can buy this book from Small-Life Supplies for insect cages, stick insects, butterflies, giant snails and food. for around a tenner.

Re: Stick Insects eggs,adults, littleones Pic.
My Hubby really feels bad but he doesn't know what to do as there is too many!!. He always has loads but this time you can't see the floor of the cage because of all the little one's and the rest of cage is covered with bigger one's and there's 1000's of eggs.... He feels bad putting them out side now it's winter.
I can't go near them, when some escape I freak out much to my hubby's enjoyment  samantha

Re: Stick Insects eggs,adults, littleones Pic.
I was the same! We got so completely overrun with them that my grandparents took on loads 5 massive cages worth!) and so did my aunty. I don't think the council had to worry about cutting the hedge in the local park for years lol. It was so bad my gran started growing her own privit bush just to keep them in food!!
