GIVING AWAy FOR FREE - INDIAN STICK INSECT BABIES


hi,

I've got well over a hundred stick insect nymphs to give away. Mine had an explosion of babies

All you need to take care of them is a sweetie jar or tank etc, and some privet or blackberry bush leaves to feed them on and a spray of water everyday. (Privet is dead easy to get hold of as most hedges are made of it. Cut twigs off and put them in the tank)

They're great for kids as they're dead easy to keep, not fast moving so no worries about escaping insects and funny to watch. (I can spend ages watching in the tank, they're really comical, especially if you blow on them, they all sway in unison. lol)

I can post, (costs covered by yourself) but would prefer collection as the post is a nightmare around xmas.

if you need anymore info just send me a PM. I have pictures, but as they are dead small, its hard to get anything clear. if you dont know what a stick insect is, there are lots of pictures on google. (Indian Stick Insect) along with alot of caresheets too.

Just to clarify, I'm giving these away for free, you can have as many as you like (sweetie jar can house 5 or so).

Thanks for reading.

xXx

this is what they look like fully grown (not my picture) in the first picture, and the second picture is of my babies. (sorry its a bit poo, they're dead tiny and are really hard to get a decent pic of)

I can post them special delivery but you'll have to cover the costs I'm afraid. I think its only a couple of quid but I'll put u a few more babies in the tub if you want.
