Living Twig Stick Insect Kit sent with Eggs

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.

This kit has already brought much delight to our family. One of the eggs hatched the first night we received them and a second the following day. We are awaiting the next ones with great excitement.

My son loves his stick insects, they took serval weeks to hatch ( so be patient) but after this they have been fantastic. While they are small they are hard to see, but grow quickly. I brought live plants for ease. Many thanks

The item itself is great but two eggs came hatched already so unsure how ling these poor guys have been without food but they seem happy enough. Plenty of information in the letter and booklet so my son could care for them right away

Exactly perfect and came 6 days early exactly as pictured

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!

I ordered 2 sets with live eggs one for me and one for my autistic daughter for her birthday I received both sets on April 3 2023 and today is the 12 April 2023 only one set has hatched so far with a total of 4 babies I’m trying to remain positive that my daughters will hatch they are so cute I even got to watch one emerge from its egg if I can update this review I will do once I have more

These really grew and grew well!!! Ended up with over 100 in a re purposed fish tank! Had to give them away in the end which took months to find someone willing! Tried local pet shops and wildlife places and they weren't interested. They cannot be released into the wild in the UK.
