They imitate twigs and drop to the ground when disturbed. Once the threat has passed the Indian stick insect will stand up and sway like a twig being blown in the breeze. They are a manageable size with adults growing to around four inches in length. Is it a twig or an insect? Well, both, kind of – it’s an insect that looks just like a twig and acts like one too! PLEASE NOTE: This is a LIVE kit and should be opened upon arrival. The Indian stick insect is an ideal entry-point to the world of keeping invertebrates. They have been kept in captivity for decades and are one of the most studied insects. Raise them from a tiny egg and when they hatch (which could happen from arrival and up to two months later) feed them fresh bramble leaves, privet or ivy. You can watch them moult and grow into adults up to 10cm long! Includes 8 -10 eggs (can take up to 2 months to hatch) 30cm reusable pop-up habitat (foliage not included), made of super clear mesh for easy viewing Paint brush Care sheet, including estimated hatching dates of your eggs Easy to follow colourful instruction guide Ages 4+ Adult supervision Insect Lore: Making Nature Come Alive Your Kit Comes With Eggs! This Insect Lore Twig Kit set comes with live Stick Insect Eggs - they can start hatching from arrival and up to two months later, so some patience is required! When your living twigs hatch from eggs, feed them fresh bramble leaves, privet or ivy (not included). Watch them moult and grow into adult Indian Stick insects in the 30cm hatching habitat. The expected lifespan of the Stick Insects is around 12 months and they will start laying eggs once they reach maturity at around 4-5 months old, so you can raise a whole new generation if you wish! Please note: These insects are not native to the UK and should not be released.

Review: Awesome pets - 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. Review: Great fun - 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. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 4 years.

When should I order it as it contains eggs** A: We would suggest ordering the Live Twig Kit the weekend of 15th December, dispatch should then be Monday 17th and delivery is 1-3 working days. You will need to keep an eye on the eggs in case they do hatch before Christmas, as the Stick Insects will need feeding once they emerge. **Q: When should I buy this as a gift for Christmas?** A: You can purchase a Twig kit that comes with a voucher to redeem for the eggs, this may be a better option as a Christmas Gift. If you did wish to purchase the Live kit, please order around 11th/12th December to catch the last week of dispatch before Christmas. You will need to check on the eggs daily once the parcel arrives as the eggs may hatch before Christmas day and will require feeding. **Q: Can they be handled** A: Yes they can be handled but I would recommend when the are about 1 month old so they are bigger and stronger. When born they are very tiny n fragile. They took a while to hatch but they are great now, 6 hatched out of 10 **Q: I’ve just lost my information leaflet, could someone please send me a copy of theirs? Would be so appreciated!! X** A: I'm so sorry we don't have our information anymore ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome pets *by M***E on 10 August 2022* Bought this item for our 10 year old animal mad daughter at Christmas.
