What do you feed baby Spiny leaf insects/phasmids?
I Love My Job asked:
We are in Australia and have hundreds of phasmid eggs that are just starting to hatch. The adults ate gum leaves, but I know the babies need the tips of new gum leaves. These aren’t easy to access and the baby phasmids are dying. Is there anything else we can feed them, because I’m having trouble getting to the younger leaves of our gum tree supply! Advice from anyone in Australia in particular with baby phasmids greatly appreciated.
I’m looking for information on what to feed BABY phasmids.

I am not from Australia but I hope I could offer a little help. I had a friend before who got phasmids and I remember her feeding the baby phasmids with fresh Romaine lettuce or parsley leaves.
