Thailand stick insects mate regularly and their eggs are easy to hatch, the babies emerging after just two months.

New Guinea stick insects Impressive wide stick insects, males and females occuring in equal numbers. Respond well to handling and benefit from a lot of exercise outside the cage. Great for young children to stroke. The nymphs are usually green and the adults brown. They like to rest in the Community Tubes (place these in the cage). New Guinea stick insects live longer (1½ to 2 years) than most other species of stick insect. New Guinea stick insects eat bramble (blackberry) leaves, rose leaves and hazel leaves. They do best in the tall airy ELC cage. They are heavy stick insects and hook their claws in the mesh sides of the cage to climb. Pack of four New Guinea stick insect adults (two males and two females) £19. Also require a Water Dish (£1), a Community Tube (£1), and a Sand Pit (£2.99) to bury their eggs. Collect the eggs from the sand using the Metal Sieve (£3.99). Store the eggs in a HUA Pot (£7.35). Express delivery £9.95. Scroll to bottom of this page to order... |

 Adult female. |

| BTW
... New Guinea stick insects are large and chunky and may accidentally
harm the more slender species of stick insect if they stand on one by mistake.
So keep New Guinea stick insects in their own ELC cage. More info in "Keeping Stick Insects" book, price £12.50 (describes this species in detail). |

| Want to mix stick insects? If you have New Guinea stick insects, these are best kept in their own ELC cage. Due to their bulk, they can accidentally harm a thinner stick insect if they tread on it. But the other types on this page can be kept together in the same ELC cage. But don't overcrowd them, so twelve is the maximum number (for example, four Indian, four Pink Winged and four Thailand). |
