Hi guys.

I am new to this forum (so please be gentle with me) and I require some help relativly urgently and I hope very much that one of you lovely people can assist me.
Let me start from the begining. My little sister about a year ago bought some Stick Insect eggs. As one would imagine these eggs then hatched and became 5 much loved little stick insects who lived the life of luxury for about a year. Things must have been so good that the 5 of them in ther tank decieded this would be a great place to raise some children, and so they laid eggs. My sister, bless her, seemed to overlook the fact that each egg makes one stick insect and instead of not allowing them to grow helped each one to realise its full potential. We now have approx 100 tiny little cute stick insect babies.
My problem is that we physically do not have the space in our house to keep the amount we have in a manner befitting a living being. At present things are fine as they are only a few centimetres long, but when they grow up I am concerned that they will suffer due to the cramped conditions. We have bought another 2 much bigger tanks but even these I do not think will allow them the comfort and respect that a living being deserves. I really do not want them to suffer in their lives, its not their fault.

So my question is would anyone like some, or all, of these new stick insects? I have seen other posts like this one but I am unsure of how succesful others have been. I live in Feltham which is in just on the outskirts of London proper and would not have a problem with driving (within reason) to deliver them (I dont think being posted and especially around strike time would be very nice).

Please either reply to me on this forum or email me direct at Jackvesloe@gmail.com.

I have my fingers crossed.

Thanks

Jack

How about reptile shops? There are plenty of places around my way that sell stick insects. My dad breeds an aray of reptiles and insects for local shops, inc. Mantis' and things like that. You could try ringing round and seeing if they'd be interested, or they may even know of people who could take a few off your hands

We did just the same a few years ago and ended up with about 200 of them and couldn't sell them anywhere. I gave my sister about 100 of them.

Maybe a local primary school might be interested in taking some off your hands as they are quite easy to keep.

I think he wanted to rehome the ones he has not buy any more.

Good luck rehoming them! I'd offer to take some but i don't think i can cope with any more animals til i get out of uni

OOh i wish I'd seen this earlier! Please if you have any more, could I have some? I had some years ago and I've been wanting some more for ages!
If not, i hope they found a good home! You sound like a very caring owner =]
