Zu verkaufen / for sale

Australische Gespenstschrecke Eier, Giant spiny leaf insect eggs.

I sell eggs from my own spiny leaf insects that feed exclusively on bramble (DE Brombeeren), which is widely available in Middle Europe (wild and cultivated). They also feed on eucalyptus and oak (DE Eiche).

Put the eggs in a warm bowl with a moisture source (e.g. a wet paper towel). Make sure they get some air through airholes so that they do not get moldy. Turn the eggs every now an then for the same reason. The babies should appear within some weeks, sometimes after some months. I sell eggs that are already some months old, so that you wont have to wait so long.

When the babies hatch they look like big ants to avoid getting eaten by predators (as they usually do not like eating ants). At this stage they cannot really chew the leaves, so try to cut some leaves with scissors so that they can better eat them. Mist the enclosure with water every day so that they stay well hydrated and be able to shed their skin normally. If you see them losing eggs, or that the legs are weirdly shaped, sometimes it helps to increase moisture. Do not worry about missing legs, they slowly grow them back at full length again! After they have grown up a bit, taking care of them is much easier. Just change the branches when the leaves dry up and clean the bottom of the cage when it gets very dirty. Even then, there is almost no smell at all.

If you live in an area, where Stick Insects are not native and it would be possible for them to survive outside in the winter (e.g. South Europe), do not to release them in the wild, as they can become invasive. Even one insect is enough to start a pandemic, es they multiply parthenogenetic (without pairing). Make sure to dispose off the dirt accordingly, as it may contain eggs (you can also freeze the dirt at least for 24h before throwing away if your waste material do not get burnt or similar).

Thanks for buying. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me! (English, Deutsch)
