hug Glad they got there on one piece! Thanks for letting me know! happy

It's really difficult to say when the ova will hatch, I'm afraid! Can be anywhere from two to six months. They were laid about a month ago, I believe, so hopefully sooner rather than later.

If, at any time, you want more eggs, I'll be happy to send some. happy Same goes for anybody else!

You can put them straight into the terrarium/vivarium on some tissue paper/paper towel, if you want, and spray them daily. happy You can also use a lidded Tupperware pot or similar until they hatch.

Don't know if I've mentioned this before, but there does seem to be a certain trick to getting them to hatch. After a few months, you can every so often allow the eggs to dry properly for a couple of days, before spraying them down again. This simulates the natural triggers in the wild, which cause the eggs to hatch. In nature, the eggs will sit around until it rains. The rain loosens the glue-like substance which attaches the little nodule to the egg, so that the stick insect nymph can push her way out. happy

Eleanor's took absolutely ages to hatch! She'd just about given up when they finally did. Only 3 hatched though, and one of those died very young.
