    I m very thrilled with my leafy ‘s. The three arrived safely and quickly and considering I live remote I was a bit worried about time in post. But they are great. Thank you I will definitely be getting more .

    Happy with my purchase

    Posted by Emily Clark on 7th Nov 2023

    I bought 2 leaf insects for my classroom after our previous ones had died of old age. The students were overjoyed to discover that one of the two was a pale albino coloured insect, that was identical to their much loved one that died earlier this year. Both (smores and rusty) are still going strong in a new enclosure and the class are over the moon with their new class buddies. I am curious to know what leaves the bugs were sent to me with as they seemed to enjoy that more than the eucalyptus leaves I’ve been providing them.

    Spiny Leaf Insects

    We bought 2 and my Preschool children absolutely adored these. Unfortunately one of them has died - after only about 6 weeks but the other seems healthy still. It is a bit disappointing and now I'll have to explain to a group of 3 and 4 year olds what happened which is going to be tough.

    "Twiggy" arrived safe and well. Leaves and environment nicely moist. Twiggy is settling in nicely and already seems to recognise me.
