Is it a twig or an insect? Well, both, kind of - it's an insect that looks just like a twig & acts like one too!
Want to raise your own pet Stick Insect family? With this kit you can raise your very own Indian Stick Insects (Carausius morosus). Watch them grow from tiny eggs to fully grown Twig Insects. Easy to care for and everything you need come in the kit with full instructions.
With our kits 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 new 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!
