is that big enough for stickies all its life,ive been told eleswere no.

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Something as small as an indian stick, it should be ok. Anything bigger, and you'd definitely need a larger container.

 

[phil2]

yes but big enough for 1 OR 2 ALL ITS LIFE!!

i know i have a lot of QS's but everyoine here has eben so helpfull,if i hadnt known here i wouldnt know any of this.

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Please refrain from e-shouting. I'm sorry if I didn't properly address all your concerns earlier.

Anyway, indian sticks are small enough that one more won't make a difference, and over the course of their lives they won't outgrow that container.

here ive been told another answer.

 

[edventurous77]

my indians got to around 4 inches so an enclosure of that size wouldnt be suitable if they got that large

 

[phil2]

well if they got bigger id get a bigger cage,
which i think i will anyway.

Indian Stickinsects are incredably easy to care for, I was breeding them successfully (in large numbers) when I was 6. Im sure all theyre care, feeding, housing requirements has already been covered in this thread, but i kept my ones in a tall glass vivarium (custom built) but you could keep them in any tall container, at least twice or three times theyre height is recommended, to help with shedding, humidity isnt important as other phasmids, the housing container wouldnt be expensive, you could even use an extra large petpal (sold in all petshops) turned on its site, or a large sweet jar. An airy container is fine for them, and only light, occasional spraying you can use kitchen paper on the base, which makes cleaning and egg collecting very easy. I fed my ones on Privet, they will also readilly accept bramble, Privet is very common everywhere in the UK, so you shouldnt have any problems with feeding them, you should collect theyre food away from roads, or other areas where they could possibly be contaminated with fumes etc.. its best to keep the food plant in a jar of water, sealed over (with a sponge etc..) to keep the leaves fresh, they should be replaced as eaten, or when they are no longer very fresh. If theres anything else, let me know.
