Educational and fun with these living, walking sticks.
With this pack you can raise 8-10 Indian Stick Insects (Carausius morosus). Hatching can occur at any time from arrival up to 2 months.
When they hatch feed the insects fresh bramble, privet or ivy.
Your little pets will moult and grow until they mature at around 5 months old, when they will begin laying eggs of their own, so you can raise a new generation if you wish!
You will need to provide a container that will allow enough space for the adult insects to hang down from a twig or leaves so they can shed their skins as they grow. An aquarium or similar container with a cloth cover held on by elastic makes a good home. Mesh net Habitats sold separately, or purchase a full Living Twig kit here.
Contains:
- 8-10 stick insect eggs, or voucher to redeem for the eggs (stick insect eggs available year-round, weather permitting)
- Instruction leaflet including estimated hatching dates of the eggs
Ages 4+ Adult Supervision Required
Please note: These Stick Insects are not native to the UK, therefore cannot be released into nature.
