Feeders!

Hello as long as they havent been fed eucalyptus or other noxious vegetation you can use them as feeders! ;P Some chameleons and other insectivores like them as a change of pace :drool:

Ok. I don't keep them now, because I've got "more interesting" species (like E. tiaratum and E. calcarata). Indian stick insects are good for beginers. After geting some experience, you can try to breed more difficult species.

I used my C. morosus insects as food for my spiders and predacerous beetles.
