Heteropteryx Dilatata - box of two pairs of hatchlings - Jungle Nymph Stick Insects
2 pairs of very young jungle nymphs from our stock of about 100 adults last generation - these will eventually grow to be huge adults (2 males + 2 females)
With the cheap two pair box we assume you don't want many so unlike the bigger boxes usually don't tend to send an extra pair for free
most of the photos show the adults, the ones we are selling are much younger
you can sex even the youngest ones, the females have a slightly pointed tail
We have recently started keeping young ones of these in the same cage as young siliquofera grandis katydids and so far so good. We're not saying that's definitely fine as it's a recent thing.
Feed well on bramble, oak, beech, raspberry, hawthorn - keep cut stems in jars of water but don't leave gaps to let the insects fall in
Temperature 20-30 C (a warm room temperature), humidity 70-85%
