saw on trade me the other day a stick insect for sale for $75.00, saw one on the ground inside, went to go get a piece of manuka for it to go on in the box and there was another one on the oiece of manuka so i now have two stick insects a green one and a brown one....

the one on trade me was withdrawn by trade me admin

why??

why was the stick insect withdrawn???? anyone???

can you own a stick insect? probabablly not, which would be why it got withdrawn i guess

AFAIK you're allowed to keep anything as a pet that's not a protected species or a pest that MAF wants destroyed.

$75 for a stick insect?

Sounds expensive.

lol have heaps here, if anyone wants some i will swap like 10 for like 10 fish

what kind you got?

not to sure but there brown and some are green.....

AFAIK you're allowed to keep anything as a pet that's not a protected species or a pest that MAF wants destroyed.

So your allowed to keep people as pets???

Why not? There are hundreds of thousands of pet people running around NZ, we even have pet training centers for them, government programs to give money out to keep them, free veterinary care for them, companies are even required to give their employees like 6 months paid leave when they first get their pet!
