Build your own kit in 3
easy steps... 1. Get the Bug Studio Professional
Package 2. Choose which stick insects you want 3. Complete the secure
on-line order form or phone 01949 842446
It's easy and you can choose
whether to have one, two or three species of stick insect in one
cage! |
Step one...
The Bug Studio Professional package includes
everything you need to look after your stick insects properly.
The
BSP cage is tall (46cm, 18" high) so that the stick insects have plenty
of room to grow (they slide downwards out of their old skins). It has four
see-through sides so you can see the insects clearly. Instead of being solid,
the sides are full of specially made holes so that the insects can get a good
foothold to climb (they hook their claws around the holes), The holes also act
as air-holes, allowing lots of ventilation through the cage.
Ten
Liners (pink or blue - you choose) are included FREE! Just place one Liner
on the floor of the cage and replace it weekly, to keep the stick insects in
clean conditions.
Push the bramble stems into the Sprig Pot to
keep fresh. And read more about stick insect care in the best-selling
book "Keeping Stick Insects" by Dorothy Floyd.

Step two...
Choose which stick insects you'd like! All eat bramble
(blackberry) leaves, all are easy to look after and they are all harmless and
safe to handle. Stick insects like company and different varieties can be mixed
together. It's important they aren't overcrowded and so only keep a maximum of
eight in a cage. All stick insects are dispatched when medium-sized; this means
they are half-grown and are the best size to travel. They are dispatched by
express delivery, this costs £8. Live arrival is
guaranteed.

 Ventilation Control Panel

Step

package includes everything you need to look after your stick insects
properly.
The BSP cage is tall (46cm, 18" high) so that the stick
insects have plenty of room to grow (they slide downwards out of their old

Instead of being solid, the sides are full of specially made holes so that the
insects can get a good foothold to climb (they hook their claws around the
holes). The Ventilation Control Panel attaches to the three outer sides
of the BSP and must be used for the stick insects listed below because these
stick insects prefer less-ventilated conditions.
Ten Liners (pink
or blue - you choose) are included FREE! Just place one Liner on the floor of
the cage and replace it weekly, to keep the stick insects in clean conditions.
