Guide to keeping stick insects in the terrarium

The genera Carausius, Sipyloidea & Co

In this guide from the “Species by Species” series, author Ingo Fritzsche explains what is needed to keep stick insects in a species-appropriate way and breed them successfully. Stick insects, also known as phasmids, are not exactly a favorite among actual terrarium animals, but the number of enthusiastic keepers and breeders is steadily increasing. In recent years in particular, there has been an enormous increase in the number of species kept, which can be attributed to the good organization of phasmid breeders. In some countries, stick insects are among the most popular pets, including the mother country of phasmid keeping, England. Well over 200 different species of stick insects are currently being successfully bred there.
