Andamans Stick Bugs!
Ive been trying to get some more variety for my insectivores so I purchased a starter kit for stick bugs (sceptrophasma hispidulum). Got this package in the mail when I got home today.
Apparently they are really simple to breed, but Ill let you know how it goes. They are pretty cute, and unlike the rest of the feeders, they arent hard to keep a hold of. Not sure how the reptiles will take to them, but I like them already!

Re: Andamans Stick Bugs!
Neat, I especially like the one that looks like a stick.
Q-tip for moisture?

Re: Andamans Stick Bugs!
Im not sure exactly, except that from what I am reading online, a Q-tip seems a common tool to use for gathering them on. There was a damp paper towel in the bottom for moisture so I dont think that was the reason, but like I said Im pretty clueless at this point.

Yep, they are one of the animals that will soon be munching them down.

Re: Andamans Stick Bugs!
Wow, thats great! Ya, everything Ive read about them says they are REALLY prolific, which is perfect. Always good to have a food source like that for all the hungry mouths.

Re: Andamans Stick Bugs!
I would totally be interested in learning how they mate and how they give birth/lay eggs/whatever insects do

Re: Andamans Stick Bugs!
All of canada. Stick insects and mantids are against the law.
That being said, animal control and bylaw is complaint driven, and as long as no1 complains your fine. I've got a clutch of mantid eggs that should hatch in the spring, cant wait.
