Hello, I am involved in an animal rescue group, usually helping birds (Pigeons, Magpie, seagullls etc)
Through one of the volunteers I have heard about somebody trying to rehome 150 stick insects.
I have been interested in Terrariums for a while, and I have been thinking about converting this Bio-orb 60litre Fish tank into a Terrarium, with stones, earth and plants:
From what I understand this would be quite good for a humid terrarium, but I have read that stick insects need a lot of ventilation, though at the moment it seems the previous keeper has them in some kind of large plastic jars. I would replace the lid with some kind of mesh, but I don't think that will be enough ventilation. Is there anyway this can work? I don't want to get a mesh terrarium, as I like the shape and look of the bio-orb, so if this cannot be made habitable for stick insects I
will just go for a planted terrarium with no insects inside.
Thanks.
