An overwhelming favourite, the Spiny Leaf Insect is a hardy pet, easy to keep and a fascinating addition to your home or school.
As far as insect pets go, Spiny leaf insects are a winner! They have amazing camouflage, and are able to be handled gently. These captive-bred insects mainly feed on eucalyptus leaves, and can be kept in groups or on their own. As adults, the females have short, flightless wings, and the adult males have long wings and are capable of flying short distances. Females are also able to reproduce without a male!

Bob was beautifully packaged and arrived full of beans. I think he will find the NSW tablelands a bit cooler than Northern QLD though.

We got two females for my kids birthdays and they were the best pets ever ! They lived their whole life span and were very easy to care for. They also made an interesting topic to talk about. They arrived happy and healthy and well packaged.
