has anyone had any actual experience hatching stick insect eggs? ive tried to read online but everyone seems to have different opinions with alot of them not having a great deal of success. i would appreciate any help.

iv raised tons of sticks...theres really not much to them.
just keep the ooths in a small container(well ventilated) and mist the container once a week.  theyl take a couple weeks to hatch. when they do, put some fresh romaine lettuce in with them or rose leaves or ivy...and continue to mist once a week
....really interesting & easy to keep critters

A plastic container like those of hamburgers work really nice with one inch of vermiculite keep it closed and mist once a week add colembols to eat fungus
