Sungaya inexpectata

Plant a tradiskantia - it will be beautiful and stick insects will not starve to death.

it is worth putting a small box with soil, they will find it and lay their eggs there. at the bottom of Terra, it should be better to be empty, so that it is easier to clean up.
DIFFERENT leaves can not be given categorically. Stick insects are monophages, and they only eat one thing. Raspberries are an excellent food, you should not diversify the menu, or put a tradescantia. Stick insects can hardly withstand the transition to another type of food, and there are many deaths.
After defrosting, it is advisable to pour boiling water over the leaves
. I didn't quite understand the epic with the torn leg,.. it fell off and it started to dry up. Who! severed leg)? In any case, the loss of even three legs does not cause the stickman the slightest harm. When humidity is disturbed, this often happens. With subsequent molts, the legs will grow back. I don't recommend killing a stickman for having no legs) Even a stickman with 2 legs has a chance to survive.
Spray once a day, but not in the morning.
Eggs are hatched in six months, keep in moist soil.

thank you for responding,
The "belly" began to dry up, it felt like it was stuck together like a ball, the entire length of the stickman was 8 centimeters, so 3 centimeters of them stuck together and the mustache fell off.
So that's about the food they have now : oak, dandelion and raspberry. as I understand it, it is necessary to leave only raspberries, but I read that oak contains a lot of calcium and it is good for their "skeleton".
And the size of the box is a cigarette pack or block (just an example of the size)? And for half a year it is necessary to keep wet mmm, so will the soil rot if it is constantly wet, something terrible to breed mold. I have coconut chips, vermiculite, which is better suited, and about the temperature for the incubator so that they are hatched faster or does it not affect?
I also heard that they eat dry leaves.

dandelion is harmful to them, oak contains a large amount of tannins, which can also be harmful.
the one that dries up-will soon die, as laid the entire stock of eggs
box size-will come down 10-5 height 7-8 cm
coconut chips will go, but you can just land.
not necessarily VERY wet, you can just be a little wet.
dry foxes are eaten if there is nothing else to eat. in extreme cases, you can give, but it is better to soak in boiling water.

Mih thank you very much,
Although he is good at first acquired, and then that yes as MDA henceforth I will be circumspect. We are responsible for those who are "Tamed".
and what their eggs look like. I've seen what the eggs of the Anama stick insects are like.

their eggs are 5 times larger than Annam eggs, blue-black with a lid..

It all depends on the number of stick insects. Tradescantia grows too slowly (so the only way out is to freeze or dry the leaves). And an adult stickman calmly deals with a raspberry leaf in a day or two.

Hello, this is after I purchased Sungaya inexpectata, but I read about their content. Now there are more questions. As for the soil, they lay their eggs there, so it is worth keeping them without soil or with soil, but then it is difficult to find and see the eggs, but without soil it is difficult to maintain humidity. For the winter, I froze and dried a lot of raspberries and other different fruit leaves, they must be soaked after defrosting or you can immediately give them out. One stickman could not stand my care and had to be fed to the spider, she had a problem, with molting on the leg there was an old skin, but then it fell off (a week) it began to dry out.
It seems that they need to be sprayed once a day.
Maybe I forgot something, could YOU tell me how to simplify their care?
Thank you in advance, if you can give a link that would not force you to write twice.
They live in a makeshift tere.

Last time I wrote a message, but the computer glitched and the system did not recognize me. The message is gone, maybe I won't add anything new. But still. I've been using a sheet of white paper as a litter lately - it's easy to clean up. Previously, I used washed river sand. I give out frozen leaves to stickmen so that I spray the ice cream with a spray gun, the leaf peels off and sticks into the terarium (put the leaves on at night -stickmen are active at this time of day, and both ice cream and soaked dry leaves dry very quickly). I have experienced that stick insects remained for unknown reasons without limbs at all, although outwardly they looked healthy. But as Mich already wrote, a stickman without paws also has a chance to survive, but it seems to me that there should be at least three of them. Maybe Mich was just watching his pets more. When molting, do not disturb the stick insects, then they will be healthy. Regarding the simplification of care, I can say that it is possible to facilitate care in the summer, when it is possible to potsavit branches in a disposable cup with water (previously, stretch an oilcloth on the cup and make a slot for twigs, small sticks I drowned in a glass of 5-7 pieces, even adults sometimes) so they stand for a week or more, until the stick insects eat them. But in winter, the content becomes heavier, you need to feed every day. I spray stick insects once a week, I have a lot of them and when I put them 10 mao branches, the humidity is kept natural. But now that they have given me heating, I just look at it if necessary and spray it twice. Also remove the stick eggs, sort them separately from the excrement and put them in a separate container where you will spray them, if you spray the eggs together with the excrement, they will become moldy. And if you do not keep the humidity, then the sticks will not come out.

Well, all the stick insects went to the forefathers, well, I fed a couple as I understood right before their natural death. There are 9 eggs left if I found them all, left the same container in which the eggs were laid 20x10, I wonder how not to waterlog them and not over-dry them and where they should be put (dark place) but if they hatch, then all will disperse. I noticed the first egg at the end of November, so when you can expect the offspring. I might not have kept track of how long it would take to know for sure that there would be no offspring.

Wait not soon, in 4 months, that's why it's unexpected =). I've never really steamed much in terms of humidity in the egg chamber, especially when the offspring are rolling in packs and there are only two aquariums.
A dark place - this is in connection with what?
You take a plastic container from under salads, you pour sand of the river or simple (only pour it with boiling water - sand, and it is better to hold it in boiling water). There are few holes in the lid for ventilation. Spray with a spray gun 2 times a week to keep the top layer of sand moist. In general, how much to spray depends on the humidity in the room, how dry the sand can be sprinkled.
About drying out-this is already in 4 months=). And in general, according to my observations, sometimes even with low humidity, babies come out.
