This is one of my very favorite stick insects and must be one of the most easiest ones to look after, they most certainly are one for even the youngest beginner. They will live happy at room temperture, they eat Bramble, they like a light spraying of water daily and are very clean. A most beautiful and truely gentle stick insect. And they only lay a very few eggs, so your not always having to worry about too many nymphs being born. One of the best.

These are one of my favorite speices as there so easy to care for and they only grow to around one and a half to two inches in length, females being the bigger of the two. They eat bramble and love to hide amonst the leaf litter, with a little spray of water daily. Great little guys.

Sorry all ova sold out.

Goliath Ova  x 10 - £2.50 + p&p £2.50

                

 

This speices is quite easy to look after but is not for the beginner. They should be provided with plenty of space to live and grow. When very young they prefer Eucalyptus leaves, but as they get older you can start trying a mixture of Eucalyptus, Bramble and Rose, you could always try other leaves. They enjoy a good spraying of warm water daily. A very beautiful speices. And a gentle giant.

 nymphs are now sold out

 

  Nymphs 50p each + £4.95 p&p

 

These are a very pretty stick insect and easy to look after, but i wouldn't reccomend them for the young beginner, as they can be easily starkled and can emite a substance that can cause sneezing. They live on Privet and will live happily at room temperture, i find they don't like being sprayed directly with water, and they like to hide

This stick insect is well worth a go at keeping.

Ova is very easy to hatch keep at room tempature either on damp tissue or dry.
