Hell-Spawn Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I was wondering where one could get Eucalyptus or Oak leaves/small plants online. I require both for my stick insects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 A long time ago I bought Eucalyptus seeds to grow plants from Eucalyptus seeds but at that time they had four different kinds. I only see one type offered at the moment. Most garden shops have oak trees for sale but usually in the spring. I'd recommend, however, buying raspberry plants for outside. You can find hundreds of places selling them and they're more likely to fit your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell-Spawn Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 I have raspberry plants, but they are not adequate for newborn Phyllium. Not until the third instar can they eat them, and they're supposed to start out on Oak. Planting the seeds will take too long, as my eggs are hatching now...

Allpet Roaches Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Where do you live that there's no oak anywhere around? You'll find it just as hard to start them on oak as raspberry. Which Phyllium? Philippine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell-Spawn Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 P. giganteum and E. tiaratum. I read that the commonly held belief with the sticks is that the raspberry isn't digestable for them until they get bigger, which is why people star them out on Oak. Either way I'm picking ivy leaves off of my tree in my front yard, and my walking stick eats that, but the Extatosoma doesn't like it.

Matt K Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I thought they both eat rose bush as well, no ?? I have bought loads of euc leaves from here: http://www.eucproducts.com/?OVRAW=eucalypt...;OVMTC=standard The couple that operates the business is very friendly and they offer a good product. You can even specify the exact age/size of leaf you want and they will get it to you. As for oak leaves, there is someone who ships a quality selection of oak, black walnut, and other hardwood leaves dried or in mulch form, but can get them fresh here: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=98246 Have youi also tried Ligustrum sp. ??

Peter Clausen Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Spawn, I can ship oak and bayberry. Contact me via email for details. P. giganteum eats both. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
