Do walking sticks eat their skins after they molt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is not unusual for a stick insect to lose a leg in a moult. Some skin sheds, for various reasons, can go wrong and often the old skin can dry over several legs which can cause the stick insect to eject the tangled legs. To keep any incidents like this to a minimum, be sure to lightly spray inside the enclosure with water every day and make sure the enclosure is at least three times as tall as your stick insect - as many stick insects prefer to shed their skin while hanging vertically from a high leaf or branch.

A stick insect can survive quite happily with at least three legs until the other legs grow back in future moults.

Asked by Wiki User

Actually, stick insects will mate at any time of year. Stick insects often live in warm and tropical places where there is no such thing as "winter" or "autumn".

How many eggs can stick insects lay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Indian laboratory stick insects lay up to 200 eggs. They do not need any surface to lay them on they will just drop them. They take up to 3 months to hatch. It is very likely that some will have to be crushed because they will all hatch and there will be too many to be kept by 1 person. If you plan on selling them they will sell cheapest at 10p.
