Just bought my stick insects!

Going to be dispatched on Monday! I've got the habitat all sorted, so now all I have to do is wait for the little sticky eggs to arrive! So excited!

yay can't wait to see pics.

I'll post pics as soon as it arrives! It might take a couple of weeks for the eggs to hatch though, so they'll just be little brown blob pics.

Just checked the details. It's 1st class by Royal Mail, so they should arrive on Tuesday!

eeeeeeeeep!

I'm seriously excited! Can't wait for them to get here!

Whoop whoop I used to have them, used to love bramble bush but they breed like crazy so had to get rid of them haha! looking forward to pics

They do indeed! Going to have to be very careful sorting the eggs from the poo! I'll probably feed them brambles, ivy and rose clippings. Plenty of those around the garden and alotment!

we used to have lots of bramble and stuff around but once your getting cuttings every other day it soon disappears best of luck

We have a huge bramble patch on our alotment, about six metres across and so thick, some of the vines are an inch wide. Between that, the seven foot high rose and the huge amounts of ivy we have, I'm hoping it'll last!

They are cool. We get them here and I like them!

They're weird, but sort of cute in a strange way!

Like praying mantis cool.

 

The praying mantis is amazing!

Inez, I'll make sure I show you looooaaads of pics Hehe

Nooooooooooo!!!!! 

Lots and lots of pics!

Mum, I'll get you a praying a mantis for Christmas! Lovely little bug to crawl around on your pillow!

No. Thank. You. 

Welcome, stick insects, to Eleanor's zoo!

I had stick insects when I was a kid - some that were smooth and green, and some that browner and had kind of flaps on them. I fed them on privet leaves.

They did pong though!

You'd love it!

I'm keeping mine on a high shelf, so any smells will be carried away from me!

I hope the post office doesn't go on strike in the mean time  

Looking forward to the pics, have you got names sorted yet ??

Don't jinx it!  

I probably won't be able to tell them apart, so their names will most likely alternate between them! Probably going to call them all Sticky.

Although there's also Twiggy

I hope they survive! i want more. I have an empty tank and its too small for any reptiles so is very close to having a red belly toad

Yay!! Congrats on the latest additions....but i'm with Inez....I'm fine without pics too

You should go for it! If not, I love red bellies! You have to post pics if you get either of them!
