Indian Sticks prefer Privet, just walk down the street and pick some from a hedge

just watch out for pesticides / insecticides and gasses coming from cars etc... they'll kill your stick insect in a minute

I wouldn't feed it ivy, ivy contains toxins that would pobably kill it. aside from brambles they'll eat rose bush leaves and rasberry bushes, they will also eat romain lettuce if it is the only thing offered, witch is good beacause it's high in calcium.
