| Best-seller... 1) BSP cage Stick insects do best in a tall cage (at least 46cm, 18" high). The height is needed because when they grow, stick insects slide vertically downwards out of their old skins and so they need lots of height to be able to do this properly. Stick insects also like to climb and need to be able to hook their claws around something to get a grip. The sides of the BSP are full of specially made holes which allow the stick insects to get a good foothold. The BSP is made from PVC. To get the most out of keeping stick insects, you need to be able to see them properly. The BSP has four clear see-through sides full of specially made holes. This means that you can easily see the insects. Access to the cage is via the top lid that slides backwards. Keep the BSP cage clean by lining the floor with a disposable pre-cut BSP Liner, replaced weekly. The BSP is manufactured by Small-Life Supplies in the UK. It is dispatched fully assembled and so can be used straight away. Price £29.99 + £6.95 delivery. To buy on-line, click buy BSP insect cage
