Our stick insects have had babies! They're £2 each. They only need a jar and some ivy or brambles.

How long do they live for and how big do they get?

How many babies did the mother have?

I used to have stick insects. The 'mother' lays eggs throughout it's life (constantly). They come out and they are tiny (about a centimetre long), and they grow to about 3 inches long.
They sit on branches and rock back and forth all day, and have an odd 'walk' when you put them on your hand (not like spiders etc).

And life expectancy?

I am thinking the kids might like to have a couple. Our hamster passed on a few months ago and was never replaced.

We have a small glass fish tank that I think would make a good environment for them.

can i feed them to my mate,s snake lmao

Don't be so evil!

lol

What do they eat?

Leaves, didn`t you have any pets in school people?

Lol,trust you to come up with that 1.

This thread went a long time ago...

Anyone actually interested???

3 inches they eat bramble leaves and ivy leaves
they don't need much care but do like space so need a big jar or fish tank

60!!!

About a year, if you keep a couple of eggs and let them hatch, they're a perpetual pet.

I'm interested, Stuy!!!!! Hence my sensible questions!!!!!

As I said, they're constantly laying eggs, which sit dormant until they're warmed up. I put some on the radiator and they hatched.
They are a very good pet.

Although a better pet would be the pair of Degus in 'Pets At Home' in Bromborough. I wanted them, but I'm a bit too old for that now.

Your never too old mate
