Please welcome the two new additions at Gadgets Towers!April 25, 2008 on 4:18 pm | In News |Breaking news and mass excitement at Gadgets Towers this week as two of our Stick insect eggs have hatched! To be honest there had been murmurs that in fact none of the eggs were going to hatch and we would be without our new office mascots. But, oh Ye of Little Faith, two have now hatched and are with us. Sindy and Suzie (I didn’t choose the names) are both about 15mm in length at the moment, which in itself is somewhat amazing considering they hatched from eggs little more than 4 or 5 mm in diameter at the largest point. Predominantly active at night we haven’t seen an awful lot of action from them, however we did have an escape attempt mounted by Suzie the first night. Luckily she decided that their enclosure was much more hospitable than the world of Gadgets Towers outside it. Before too long hopefully more of the eggs will hatch, Sindy, Suzie, and any future sisters will soon enter into their first shedding phase. Here’s a photo of the girls lounging at home, can you spot them both? StumbleUpon | Digg | Del.icio.us | Dzone | Newsvine | Simpy | Furl | Reddit | Yahoo!

There are indeed more than 2 now!
The Sticks don’t require a lot of looking after, regular fresh food, Bramble Privet and Ivy are suggested, (we have found Ivy to be the most popular choice) a splash of water, although they will obtain most of the fluid they need from the leaves, and an occasional clean out. Just be careful you don’t clean out any of the Stick Insects as well!
Having done a little research I have found them to be very interesting creatures.
