[QUOTE="francisco, post: 29076, member: 48"] Hello, Nice male, is he missing a leg? Is he an adult yet? I kept mine on Coprosma repens (Mirrow plant) This is a New Zealand native plant. I would cut one branch with 5-8 leaves and change it every day in Summer and every 2-3 days on cooler seasons. Also apple,cherries,carrot,cabage,willow,plantain,**** and pear. Sometimes leaf litter,dead foliage I would also feed animal food (dead) like Mealworms,caterpillars,crickets. I was also recomended to feed them a dead pinky,or dog food. I tried the dog food but never the pinky. Have fun with them,make sure you have plenty of places to hide. They will choose only one. In my case all 8 Wetas spent their time in a small crevice, it was so funny how they were all cramped in such a small chamber. They would be so active at night time. Also place a container with peatmoss, so the female could ovoposit,the eggs will take around 6 months or so to ecclose. I was not succesfull at that,but I hope you'll do better than me.
