When I was a child, stick insects were the thing to have. I can remember someone bringing their stick insects in to school once and everyone in our class thinking they were just about the coolest thing they had ever seen. They didn’t seem to do anything, they just sat there, looking sort of sticky.
As a parent, I can see the appeal in a stick insect as a pet. They seem pretty low maintenance, and even if anything happened to it you could probably persuade a young child otherwise – ‘there it is,’ you could say, pointing at a twig, ‘it’s fine!’
That’s my kind of pet. View Post
