Living Twig Stick Insect Kit sent with Eggs

Purchased these weeks ago and 9/10 eggs hatched. Which I'm more than happy with. My son is loving them.

Bought this item for our 10 year old animal mad daughter at Christmas. The item took about a week to arrive but the eggs took over two months to hatch but once they did we ended up with six stick insects. We feed sticks Ivy from the garden (change it twice a week and spray water mist on the leaves once a week).The insects are really interesting to watch as they grow - our biggest insect (twiggy) is about 10cm long now and my daughter regularly gets it out to hold.Top tip: we’re growing ivy in a pot from some off cuts we took from the garden (tips on how to do this are easily available on the internet), this should mean that the sticks can just have a pot of live ivy in their enclosure to eat. Don’t buy a potted ivy plant from the garden centre as these often have pesticides on them so can kill your sticks.

I brought this for my adult daughter. The box was shameful to her being now grown. couldn't find one for adults, it would be better to be advertised for adult and children alike. why does this just have to be for children, That said, its easy to set up and the waiting is exiting, even for an adult.

Eggs still haven't hatched yet. Really hope they do!

Within a week of receiving the item we had one baby stick insect and a couple of weeks on we now have six. They are small and cute and my daughters love them. We still have a few eggs that haven’t hatched but we are keeping an eye on them and even if they don’t we are very happy with the ones we have. Great item! Thank you!

One stick insect hatched within a couple days which was strange then I didn’t have any more for 6+ weeks with one hatching and being fine then 2 more hatching but dying basically straight away for no reason! Fun to have them as pets but most eggs didn’t hatch at all and the times were a bit off

* 5 months on UPDATE *Our stick insects are still thriving! Getting really long now, about 5-6cm, we are still finding them easy to take care of and clean out and the enclosure is sturdy and still big enough for them. The children love seeing how big the sticks grow each time they've gone through a shedding! Love them!Ordered this for my son's birthday at the beginning of October as he loves bugs, it's now mid December and they've finally hatched! We woke up to three insects, (the children were fascinated as they also saw one emerging!)We've managed to put some food in there for them to eat and are looking forward to watching hem grow!They may take a while to hatch but keep patience as I now have three very excited children! And three hungry stick insects!

This is brilliant. Helpful, informative pamphlet with it and a little vial of ten eggs. The first hatched after about ten days, then one or two more every few days. We’ve had it four weeks and now have seven supercool stick insects, who my kids adore. Still a few eggs left to hatch, so looking forward to meeting the rest of them. Very impressed. Arrived quickly once ordered. Make sure you have a water spray bottle ready. We have put a potted ivy plant in with ours, which they love munching and climbing
