  1. A diet of fresh leaves. Most types of stick insect will live on bramble, but the Indian stick insect also eats privet, hawthorn and rose. These leaves should be kept on the twig and stood in a pot of water, with a cover to prevent the insects drowning. Avoid any leaves that may have been sprayed with pesticide. Spray the leaves with water daily and change them once a week.

    Allow out to fly occasionally if they have wings.

    Stick insects may suffer from mites if their home is not kept clean and well-ventilated.

    Keep them in a  large, well-ventilated home, that is kept indoors in a warm place out of direct sunlight. They should have plenty of room to climb out of their skins.

    A stick insect that is twitching has probably eaten leaves that have been treated with pesticide and it is likely to die.
