I feel so bad. :(

My stickies have never hatched so I have just left them somewhere dry. But the heat has caused condensation from the wet towels (from my last spray of them) and I looked today to find four stickies. Three are clearly dead and the fourth looks like it might have just died.

I feel really bad. I didn't think they would hatch without water and light but forgot about condensation

Oh, no! Eleanor has more eggs if you want them?

I have pm her in Facebook

Awww.

She's at university today & going to the gym afterwards, so she might not get back to you till this evening.

Obviously you already got my reply, but don't worry about it! I'll send some more by the end of the week! They have a habit of hatching when you least expect them to!

Slight change of plan with the stick insects! Just remembered that the later batch I was going to send you was separated from the other eggs because of mould concern. There's no guarantee that those will hatch.

What I can do is send you some of the nymphs and ready-to-hatch eggs. Three more hatched out last night and are already eating, so they're healthy enough. They also travel very well in live-feed containers, so I'm going to try to pop down to the local pet shop to get the appropriate packaging. I'll send them off to you with some ivy, as well.
