I'm getting some stick insects, and have read that they will eat ivy as well as privet. We have some ivy but it is the varigated leaf, green in the middle and light green on the outside - would this kind of ivy be OK ? I don't want to poison them.

I should ask in the pet shop and get some books before you buy them.

This site amused me

It talks about discusses the merits of washing them in a dishwasher (on the plates setting) and of eating them shortly after they die. I didnt know they could be so versatile LOL

Ivy may be poisonous to some things, but stick insects will eat it perfectly OK. I've been doing some reasearch on-line
