When young, they prefer less-ventilated surroundings, but as they grow they require more air-flow. This starter kit includes two young New Guinea stick insect nymphs and the nursery square URV cage which provides the ideal minimal ventilation for them at this stage of their life. You can tell them apart because the female has a pointed end to her body (her ovipositor), and the male has a blunt end. They eat bramble (blackberry) leaves, keep the loose leaves fresh by inserting the cut stems into the shallow lidded water pot (supplied) and mist the leaves lightly with water from a Mister. Every few days, replace the dispoable URV Liner to ensure these stick insects are kept in clean surroundings. Within a couple of months, these New Guinea stick insects will have grown a lot and so will need to be transferred to the ELC stick insect cage. The ELC cage is much larger (51cm high) and two fully ventilated sides, so provides the increased air-flow these stick insects need, now they are bigger. The large New Guinea stick insects are big heavy stick insects with large claws and so it's really important that they are housed properly in the ELC cage where they can move around and climb easily. And, very importantly, the ELC cage has the correct ventilation for large New Guinea stick insects. Don't keep them in fabric netting enclosures (too airy), four sided mesh enclosures (too airy), or glass tanks (too stuffy). This young nymphs starter kit includes: two New Guinea stick insects young nymphs (male and female), nursery square URV cage (ideal housing for young nymphs), lidded water pot (for leaves), 20 URV Liners (assorted colours).
