mine just hatched today, well 3! They only took 4 monthes to hatch!

@TheCagedog Not really. If they're not fertilized by the male, they can take up to nine months to hatch. Getting my information from the professor of biology and the head of the agriculture department at the college I go to. He has hundreds and hundreds of Indian stick bugs.

@XiQsxEliteX Bramble is what most of all breeds of stick insects eat, so bramble is perfect. To hatch them, you put them in their separate container away from the adult, it's not needed but it's easier when you're cleaning the main cage. Place them on a simple paper towel, and spray them with water lightly once a week to keep it humid. Also put in room temperature, moderately warm. You won't be able to tell if it's working until they hatch :)

7 1/2 months is a very long time for that breed...

@Animalhelpchannel100 The eggs are round in shape, and the feces is not. The eggs look like they have a small dot on them as well.

Yes it will come unstuck eventually or it's leg will fall off but no big deal
