- This was my daughter's (3 1/2 yrs old) first pet.
- Critter carrier.
- Use dirt or aspen shavings for substrate. I change it about once a month.
Microwave the substrate before throwing it out to kill any eggs. These animals
are considered pests. In some states they are illegal to keep.
- I put a fabric screen under the lid to prevent newborn sticks from escaping.
- My Day Geckos refuse to eat the stick insects, so they are just pets.
- Mist every 1-2 days. If you don't mist often, the eggs will not hatch.
- Feed rose leaves and/or leaves from the Blackberry family of plants.
- For a fancier setup, use a glass tank or a screen cage.
