[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 312007, member: 8168"] Sorry to hear that. :( I agree - were the walkingsticks eating the lettuce or not at the store was one of my original concerns. If the store had them a month, it sounds like the walkingsticks were eating the lettuce to live that long; but however, as a unsuitable food source it did not sustain the walkingsticks for long. Similar to [URL="https://www.raising-rabbits.com/rabbit-starvation.html"]rabbit starvation[/URL] in humans, the outcome of a unsuitable food solution can lead to death. Hopefully you can try them again in the spring when a suitable food source is available. [/QUOTE]
