easy to breed, and suitable for all ages. Adults are 11cm long and have red

New Guinea stick
insects
Enjoy watching and handling
these huge chunky stick insects that look prehistoric!
These are the
fantastic New Guinea stick insects (Eurycantha calcarata), known for
being long-lived, sometimes reaching their second birthday.
These are young adults and are very robust and
plod along. They are popular in nursery schools and with people who have time
to give these stick insects a lot of attention and
handling.
New Guinea stick insects eat bramble
(blackberry) leaves. In the summer they can also eat hazel leaves and rose
leaves. New Guinea stick insects drink a lot of water and so it's essential to
put a dish of clean cold tap water in the ELC cage.
New Guinea stick
insects rely on their claws for climbing and so need to hook these around a
suitable climbing surface. The holes in the white walls of the ELC cage are the
perfect size for New Guinea stick insects to get a foothold. The ELC cage can
comfortably house up to six adult New Guinea stick insects (three
pairs). Correct ventilation is crucial for this species, the ELC cage is ideal.
Never house New Guinea stick insects in netting enclosures because these are
too airy and not suitable.
The adult female buries her eggs in sand,
so we supply a Sand Pit (with sand) for this purpose.
New Guinea stick
insects are supplied in pairs (male and female) of young adults. We always pick
ones that are together in the ELC cage because they usually pair up for life.
