Wow we had hundreds of them a few years ago and didn't know what to do with them.

Is there no pet shops near you that sell them? Think they were £1 each when we got a couple. Soon ended up with a lot more though.

Found this advert, don't know if it's anywhere near you or not.

Hey, thanks for the reply

Ive emailed christie may and so far no reply

I was kinda hoping to buy privately. help someone out, ya'know, Instead of encouraging the pet shops.

lol, what do you do with your eggs now? do you still have your stickies?

No we haven't got any now, it was quite a few years ago when my teenagers were around 9 and 10 that we had them. We had hundreds of them though - we saved too many eggs.

Hope you find some soon.

You could try Small Life Supplies at Small-Life Supplies for insect cages, stick insects, butterflies, giant snails and food. - they're based in the East Midlands like you, and actually breed the stick insects rather than buying them in like petshops. It's so sad when you go into a petshop that isn't caring for their stick insects.

I currently have Indian Stick Insects which I think is the type you are looking for... If you want some I would quite happily send them to you in egg form (possibly nymphs/adults).
