All photos are of our insects.
Ours feed very happily on oak, evergreen oak or eucalyptus
They apparently also eat Guava (leaves not the fruit!), beech (ours will accept it but prefer oak), and some others even use bramble but we don't advise it and ours say no, we've not forced them by removing other choices.
After some experimentation we now maintain 80-90% humidity, a large cage and 21-26 C for both the insects and eggs. Others say room temperature, but we find that's a bit vague.

Heating Setup: We use these Inkbird thermostats and heat mats such as these attached to the outside of the glass enclosure. We insulate the outside of the cages with this foam roll and even put it over the heating mats but do that at your own risk - it's not advised! We also use these foam strips to modify cages and seal larger gaps around the doors of the cages but find the strips don't last indefinitely.
