Apparently internet research is a win! I’ve managed to keep my two stick insects alive so far!<\/p>\n

I learned that since they were clearly new hatchlings (since they were attached to their egg casings still), they can take a little while to actually start to eat. They were fairly active and now they’ve slowed down a bit in activity and no longer run around like little sticks on too much sugar.<\/p>\n

They also occasionally keep all their legs in place and just move their body back and forth (swaying, it looks like dancing). And incredibly<\/em> docile, they easily go onto my fingers and walk around a bit. Plus they’ve eaten! I’ve seen evidence of their munching on the leaves I’ve given them – they’re so adorable. Also, a response to them actually eating now is that they leave very little amounts of frass (poo) onto the bottom of their jar, I’ll need to clean it soon.<\/p>\n
