Just over last week, I received some stick insects from friends. They are very new to me as pets but the learning curve have been almost vertical!
Lonchodes jejunus
- juveniles, keeps eating and I am running out of food for them, those are guava leaves
ID not known yet
- adults and teens (?), didn't eat for a day when they arrived but the appetites are pickiing up
- a pair started mating on the second day
- male is skinny, orange red
- then eggs were flung all over the place
- and I was told by MIL that poo from stick insects that ingested guava leaves were used as treatment for gastric or digestion problems
- this poor gal (I think) moulted and lost two of her legs in the process (next pic) :-(
