About Indian Stick Insects (Carausius Morosus)

Difficulty: Beginner. The Indian stick insect is the perfect species for both new keepers and experienced ones and for peace of mind, we will also include a care sheet to help you on your phasmid journey.

Breeding: Indian stick insects will reproduce in captivity even in the absence of a male, this is called parthenogenetic reproduction.

Housing: they require a simple mesh or screen cage of at least 30cm in height (to allow for successful moulting) and can be kept quite satisfactorily at a room temperature of 20-24 C. Provide a moderate level of humidity by spraying the enclosure at least twice weekly with a plant sprayer (water). Stick insects drink moisture from the food plant leaves and benefit from the increased humidity when moulting their skin.

Food: Privet, Ivy, Hawthorn, Bramble, Rose, Oak, Hazel.
