    Interesting. What do they feed on?
    Recent studies shows that putting recent studies in your statement have a higher percentage of trust people put into your recent studies. What?

    Wow, nice, insects generally give me the creeps (guess common reaction for most); but supercool

    The only insects I remember keeping when I was a kid was spiders (those fighting spiders, most people nowadays wouldn't know) and grasshoppers (small green and brown, not big ones).

    Actually they shit a lot. Now there's a layer of shit on top of the sphagnum moss. Just let it be cos i'm not into consuming their droppings. Older generations believe there are medicinal benefits of the droppings.

    Nice. Good housing.
    I have a pair 3 years ago. They love hibiscus leaf and I bought a pot of plant for their feeding. The young is not easy to keep. The bad is the lizard and ants love them as meal.

    Re: Stick insects

    The eggs need to undergo an incubation stage, and the time differs between species to species. A friend of mine in Italy also keeps phasmids, aka stick insects and he has had success in breeding them. Really neat pets too.
