i know a pet shop that only charge 50p in england. So stick insects are from tropical places and need a heat mat. Type "Stick incect caresheet" in on google and there is loads of information.

 Stick insects

Nearly all of them eat bramble leaves and Indian sticks (the beginners pet, the cheapest and the easiest to obtain) eat ivy and privet as well. Mist spray them about 2/3 times a week and refresh the food once a week unless it’s hot weather and the leaves dry out quickly. Stick the food in oasis to keep it fresh and don’t keep all the eggs from indians-they’re very prolific! I keep mine (Indian sticks) at room temperature without a heat mat and they’re fine but some species do need warmer temperatures. Areaton asperrimus were £2.50 each at my pet shop but Indians are a lot cheaper and yes, can be bought from 50p.
