Educational and fun with these living, walking sticks.
With this pack you can raise your very own Indian Stick Insects (Carausius morosus) from tiny eggs.
8-10 eggs are included, hatching can occur at any time from arrival and up to 2 months later, so some patience is required! When they begin to hatch start feeding the insects fresh bramble leaves, 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!
Life expectancy is around 12 months and a full instruction guide on the Living Twig kit is available to read before purchase if required.
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
Please note: These Stick Insects are not native to Europe, therefore cannot be released into nature.
Ages 4+ Adult Supervision Required
