## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do you do with them, how long do they live ?**
A: You can't do a huge amount with them, and they live for about a year. Then you think they're all dead, and forget about them, and the next year ten times as many are born from the eggs they laid and you have hundreds of them and try to convince all your neighbours and the local primary school that they need stick insects.

**Q: does the pakage come with egges**
A: The kit has a prepaid voucher enclosed that u use to order the caterpillars wit.... It explains in the description that u do have to pay £2.99 towards claiming them

**Q: Can you handle them?**
A: Yes, my kids loved taking them out, they really are great fun! Just be prepared when they start laying eggs, they lay loads, i wouldnt keep them all as you'll need a new tank/enclosure,  you can end up with hundreds.

**Q: I purchased the kit as a gift, is there any way to prepay for the eggs/delivery as well? Little bug 'gift cards'?**
A: No, inside the box is the info/ form to order your eggs, you can however order eggs from an independent site, wont be much dearer as you have to cover the postage either way and the eggs are cheap

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy!
*by K***L on 19 November 2016*

Me and my kids love these! Was expecting to have to wait a few months for them to hatch going by the reviews, but within 2 weeks we had our first stick insect, followed by more a few days later. Kids were so excited and love getting them fresh leaves and spraying the inside as you can watch them drink which is pretty fascinating. Going to take them into the school to show the classes when they are a bit bigger, can't wait to try the butterflies next when the eggs are available to buy. Would definitely recommend this to any family, great for the kids no matter what age, my 15 year old was as excited as my 4 year old when they started hatching :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant childhood memories 🥰
*by S***A on 3 March 2025*

Absolutely lovely!Couldn't be anymore straight forward, is a bit of a time lengthy process but kind of adds to the magic for the kids building the excitement 😀

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice idea but not perfect
*by T***S on 1 March 2011*

I kept Indian Stick Insects when I was a child so thought it would be nice to allow my own children to do the same. This kit was a gift for my eldest daughter's 6th birthday and she was delighted with it. We sent off for the eggs and followed all the instructions carefully and still six months after their latest advised hatch date, they have not hatched. We have since visited a garden centre and bought some adult stick insects, they have laid eggs and they have hatched this week. I have no idea why the original ones didn't hatch because clearly the conditions were perfect for the ones from our own insects. I have only ever heard of a couple of people have the same 'non hatching problem' so I expect we just had a bad batch. If I was to do this again I would save the money (you have to pay P&P for the eggs that you send off for) and just buy ready hatched ones (they cost us £1 each and have laid so many eggs that we need never be without stick insects!!).Egg problems aside, this kit is excellent quality and I am considering buying another (though probably a larger version) just to house some of our new hatchlings. The early frustrations caused to the children have been more than made up for now that we are seeing new babies every day.
