Have asked once before but had no takers.

We started out with four stick insects last year and, despite clearing out any eggs we found, we now have over a hundred! We really need to rehome some of them as finding enough privet to feed them is becoming a problem.

If anyone would like some as pets (NOT FOOD) please get in touch. All they need is a tank with a mesh lid that they can't escape from and fresh privet to eat.

In the meantime of finding new homes for the wee beasties, what area are you in? I've got some pretty big privet hedges.

I've just put a small glass viv on the free classified section. With a fine mesh lid it'd do for stick insects. It'll have to be collected but you're welcome to snip my privet hedge whilst you're here.
