- This video is about me rehousing my new spiny leaf insects and also give me a chance to share some information for those who would like to get some. They do have a short life span but reproduced really easily.
Feeding tips: Give a variety of older and fresh younger leaves.
They like Eucalyptus (Gum) leaves, or bramble leaves if you don’t live in Australia.
Make sure that nobody has sprayed any chemicals on the tree you cut collect leaves from. If you feed your insect on eucalyptus leaves, they will turn a shade of tan to camouflage against dry, curled eucalyptus leaves, but if you feed it on brambles it will turn green in order to better blend in to their environment.
please pin me ive been watching you for 9 months
Nature Shark yooouuuu gotttt pinnnneeddd dudddee
Please make more videos on Australian insects/critters/bugs/animals etc!! I live in Australia and am just getting into breeding spiny leafs and goliaths, great video! :))
romy spitznagel just been super busy but I will got some scorpions yesterday. Thank for the feedback.
Got a request for next next pet ?
Hi I’m buying 3 of the same species today you have helped a lot thank you very much
You gave me the idea for my insect enclosure 😊 I also feed mine Lilly pilly which is in the same family as gum leaves
I used to have a couple of spiny leaf insects for a few years, one male and one female. Eventually, I ended up letting them go in my backyard on the tree id get their leaves from, unfortunately, a few weeks later I say my dog eating one, she whoofed it down before I could stop her.
LadyHaley bummer that’s no good :( and I hope you live in an area where they are native :)
Hi I'm getting the ones that eat gum leaves Australia stick insect from my teacher today thank you for this video
Nice work!
thanks just what i needed for my spiny leaves!!
I recommend you get a guava tree because those leaves last for 2 to 3 weeks
You need sticks or vines on the ground going up. If they did fall how can they get back on the branches?
Kenneth Reyes they crawl up the mesh on the front.
But you do have a very good point thank you for your comments
super informative!!
My ones are arriving on Saturday and I live in England so there’s no way I’m gunna be able to get eucalyptus leaves 😂
Joe Brown ... people use leaves from “ Rubus sp “ try out different leaves in this species and just observe what one your leaf insects like the most.
I know i'm late but lots of stick insects like bramble and ivy right?
Bramble yes, ivy no
Hi mate, I’ve just found your channel and I’m absolutely loving it! Just a bit of advice if you still have stick insects, if you put more leaves in there, it will give them a lot more of a realistic feel, and give them more places to hide and play in. Great video and I can tell you know what you are talking about. Much love.
I did use heaps of leaves but found most of them got waisted, I will be starting up another group in the not so far future:) and it’s in a massive enclosure.
Oh yes when he said the little guys i thought he was joking but no they are little guys. I forget how small they are i have 4 boys and the 2 oldest have grown their wings and i forgot that ive had them since they were tiny and omg they get huge. I used to have 2 females but all their eggs moulded after 2 years coz my brother forgot about them while i was away for 6 weeks also my 2 females died due to old age but those girls were huge and loved being held and now out of my 4 boys my oldest is the only one that likes being held. They are such great low maintenance pets they are also so cute i would recommend getting them
Great vid mate. Thanks.
hiya. I just bought four jungle nymphs, I'm in the UK and they aren't all doing really well. they're ok but how can i get it warmer and create humid conditions for them, what do I need to buy? thanku !
Fortunately I didn’t need heat but I did use a light that warmed things up when it got cold here, but that drys out things. Depending on your set up you could use a heat cord/mat, or you could move them to the warmer rooms.
With humidity you will most likely have to spray more water.
Love how this is how aussie people build stuff lmao
😂 most people build stuff better than me 🤣
@@LifeOfSi still looks pretty good and it works. That’s all you need
I want one but don't want it to be having babies all the time. and the Males can fly so that's kind of scary I'm worried I'd lose them.
Tiana Dunn the eggs take a long time too hatch so you can give them away... people are posting them around Australia. And one of my female turned out to be a male 😂but didn’t fly much.
Thank you. After doing more research I found out a little more. I am still a little worried about finding homes for them and becoming over whelmed but will do more research and if i'm not confident I wont get one.
Thanks again
Not the babys nutribullet container lol
A particular insect at work has become very lethargic and I think it may be sick
Do you have any ideas please?
Thank you
Hey it would be super hard to diagnose through comments. Things you can check is age, temperature of enclosure, water/humidity, food and is any spraying anything around it.
Thanks I will pass the info onto the owner
I am your 650 subscriber
imma get leaf insects on sunday so thx
Thats sweet as. I hope you enjoy the adventure they are so cool
hey i was wondering what do they drink like do you add something to the water to make it safe?
They drink water off the leafs and sides of the enclosures. Thats is why you need to spray the enclosure at least once a day
@@LifeOfSi yeah i mean like do you need to add conditioner or something to make water safe ?
Oh nah they should be fine, if you can leave water to age for a day in open container so it can evaporate some of the stuff in the water that should be more than enough
@@LifeOfSi thank you alot
I actually own a Australian walking stick c:
Llama Girl where about in the world are you ?
I am in Oregon.
@@idaequestrian4267 I am In Oregon as well! How Is your Stick Insect doing? Where did you get it?
What do you feed them food wise
Hey I'm curious were do you get these bugs at?
I want 😩 Great vid 👍
Get dipherodes gigantea I have some and they grow to 15 cm
Is it ok to use a vivarium that isn't as tall and wider instead?
Jazmin Choudhury it is ok for the little ones, but as they get bigger you may need to make a taller enclosure because they are programmed to climb
@@LifeOfSi Ok! Thanks
Do they need air?
What do you mean ?
Hi how many sprays of water does one need pls
Just enough to make droplets of water on the leafs
I have the same leaf insect as you
I have pet baby spiny leaf insects and I’m letting one crawl on me as I’m watching this video

David Dy I’m not sure what you mean?
