🌿 SETTING UP LEAF INSECT ENCLOSURE 🌿| & Name reveal

[@VictoriaRaechel]

your videos always have such a nice background and look so pleasing I am jealous 👀 she was doing a good job at blending in I am proud

[@hammyvides6940]

I'm in your channel

[@m.goody123]

Hi Victoria!

[@PBobs-Lvall]

I don't like insects, but I think this type is pulling on my heart strings.💯

[@TheFurryFriends]

I’m dying at the pic of her “oh hey” 😂😂

[@rowancarr4375]

Pickett is a perfect name💚 She's so pretty and I really enjoyed watching you prepare her little home. Looking forward to seeing more videos featuring Pickett.

[@reptilesplus4481]

She's so interesting. I've never seen one before I saw yours. I'm glad you made this video. Thanks!

[@tomahawk1556]

Stick Insects & Leaf Insects love young Guava Leaves too! Thank You So Much for Caring & Protecting these Friendly Stick Insects & Leaf Insects! 🌷🌿🌍

[@fruitythebudgie3682]

Thanks! Amy leaf insects don’t like gum leaves, so I, trynna find other leaves for her. I love bugs

[@ohrats731]

It’s so cute when she loses her balance and teeters a little bit! Pickett is a perfect name!!! My new baby rat boys are Willow and Hazel(nut)! They’re nicknames are Willy and Newt (Scamander) ;) I’m curious why not a rectangle tank like for fish or reptiles?

[@Emiology]

I think those could work too, you'd have to get a specially made lid with really fine mesh, and make sure that it was tall enough. I'll probably get a really large tank in the future and have multiple leaf insects in one, but personally the reason I didn't go for a glass one was because I'll be moving a couple of times this year so can't have anything I might smash!

[@mori9018]

I would think because they need taller and not wider enclosures!! They like to be in trees so they will want to be high up or at least feel high up!

[@motz_stick]

Your videos are always so perfect! The lighting, background, and the topics! Also your so pretty!

[@jossyjav]

Idk why but your thumbnails always makes me want to watch your videos, I can never reject.

[@Emiology]

Oh thank you! That's nice to hear!

[@ajnichols6959]

The mesh on the top is actually there for them to hang from when they molt (though mantises are mostly the reason for that in the product)

[@blessingsx]

Lmao. "Her final form." I know that's a serious statement, but honestly, all I can think of is Pokemon. :D She's so adorable! I honestly would never own an insect myself, but I can tell Pickett is going to be one of my favorite animals to see videos of. :)

[@t_4_tay-430]

I just think of dragon ball and she is cell

[@xanthemorris9804]

Omg when your leaf 🍃 insect was on your have my heart stopped. I love it!!!!!!!!!!! Im going to ask for one! Nice video's aswell

[@moonlightanimations6862]

I got 2 females from Minibeast wildlife and they are awesome! The price is quite a bit and if you do get them, make sure you have the right leaves such as bramble,Lilly pilly or eucalyptus www.minibeastwildlife.com.au

[@moonlightanimations6862]

They are suuuper cute!!!!!, Minibeast wildlife also sells tarantulas,scorpions,mantis and caterpillars!

[@moonlightanimations6862]

I sound like a bot

[@TheKiwishay]

Watching your videos is like meditating.

[@happypillshelp]

Probably the cutest insect I've ever seen

[@veganeats6023]

That smaller container would be good for live food if you got a praying mantis

[@Emiology]

That's true! I think the enclosure was more tailored towards praying mantis (because of the paintbrush too for flies)

[@_zombielemonade_7535]

She's so cute and I love her name. So cute.

[@JessicasAnimalFriends]

I am just now watching this because I didn’t get a notification. I’m so happy you chose Pickett!!!

[@MaryGatdula]

Ahhh! I think you are right about the name. I was all for Fauna, but Pickett is just so fitting, but hopefully nobody will take it literally and give it a try! LOL. How do you tell the difference between Male and female?

[@Emiology]

I could probably make a video on this in the future - but males can fly and have much more slender bodies than females!

[@MaryGatdula]

Ah ha! Thank you for the answer. And, yes, that would probably make for a good video.

[@sheriececampbell5118]

Thank you for inspiring me to build an enclosure for insect

[@brendabailey7646]

Love following this story. Great name for her.

[@paigehawkins8795]

She’s gorgeous 😻

[@KayosKreativ]

Love her! So glad you linked that site as I'm looking to get Mantid's sometime soon :D some of the stuff on there will be perfect!

[@squarelivknight]

I was waiting for this video since your live video stream on youtube

[@olivermondragon3712]

Watching this video makes me wanna get one. Definitely going to consider it! Great video

[@little.animals]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIXEN

[@jessicakollar8871]

She’s so cute and interesting. ❤️🌿

[@lenen6832]

when i saw the beding it looked like oat meal XD

[@bambilouise4230]

Your so lucky to have a leaf stick insect! I can’t find any of those. I have Indian and some other breed

[@moonlightanimations6862]

I got mine from www.minibeastwildlife.com.au

[@heathersouter]

She’s so cool! 😂🌱❤️

[@gogsy]

I tend to keep my insects in a small heated room using oil filled heater instead of using heat mats which dries bramble leaves out very quickly

[@EnglishBulldogMama]

I ❤️ how you say bottle!!!!

[@finessinhearts]

She’s so cutee

[@nikovvaa8342]

Am I too late to get replied to? Anyways I love ur channel, and you inspired me to get rats. I am getting two black hooded babies the following week. Keep doing what your doing because its awesome! Love from the isle of wight, P.s I just turned 10 and the rats are my birthday present!

[@Emiology]

Never too late! I always try my best to reply to comments when I can! That's so exciting that you're getting rats, I hope you enjoy them!

[@AveryDelMiller]

Cool vids on the leaf buggy boi!

[@vesthiart2637]

Hello! I received leaf insect eggs in August, but I forgot to humidify them while on vacation in the summer. I haven't even humidified them since, because I think they're probably dead. But I thought I would ask if there is still a chance for them to live. If I start humidifying them again, will they still hatch?

[@ant8861]

Omg so cute 😍😍😍 and I usually have a phobia of insects! Oh and by the way what is the name of the song at 3:49 I really like it !!!!

[@LawnChairMotorCycle]

Where do you get those covered water bowls for the brambles

[@SaraOlssen14]

so cute😍

[@myvoice371]

Wow this was posted on my bday last year yay. Where did u get her?!

[@fruitythebudgie3682]

U can get them online or their eggs on eBay and stuff I can send u links if u tell me what country u in.

[@MagnusGarshol-Roy]

Would there be a safety issue if I used an electric heat pad under a mesh cage

[@adamspillman8403]

Smaller one is for putting them in while cleaning lol

[@deescreatures]

Where did you get your leaf bug ive been looking for one and i dont want to buy from a scam website

[@fruitythebudgie3682]

Ebay actually works. I can give some links. I’m “not” a scam. Totally not. Lol

[@deescreatures]

@@fruitythebudgie3682 ok thanks I’ll look on ebay for some

[@emmyisntreallyhere]

Make sure you dont feed little ones undamaged leaves because they wont always eat it, just trim around the edges. Love you xxx

[@Sderrybugs]

love bugs 😍😍

[@myamcguire5852]

I’m half way through watching so I’m not sure if you answer this but where do I get a leaf insect? I don’t really trust eBay :/

[@MeTubeYouTubeUsTube]

❤

[@xjk3xmj]

where did u purchase your insects? I really want too purchase a leaf bug but I don’t know where

[@fruitythebudgie3682]

What country u in

[@fruitythebudgie3682]

I know some I can help

[@SharkPog690]

I have 4 stick insects their name is primo, Obama, Aloverah, and Frayer.

[@pauline8220]

hi sorry to bother you with that but i have a problem with my leaf insect.. it didn't eat since like 2 days and it's having problems sticking and moving when i put it in my hands.. i think it's supposed to shed soon but idk if it's connected.. do any of you have some advice? i'm really worried

[@fruitythebudgie3682]

Mine died. Maybe check for fungal infections

[@paintedpawprints8126]

Gosh he's cute, do you think a mouse is a good pet for someone who who is more experienced with larger animals such as snakes and rats ( pet rats not feeder). They are quite small so im not sure ❤️

[@Emiology]

I've found mice to be a very different experience than owning rats, because rats are larger you don't have to be as careful with handling them, but if you've ever had a hamster they're on the same handling level i'd say, you have to be very careful with them because they're so small and then can be very quick sometimes. If you have a lot of experience with other animals though I think you'd be fine to own a mouse! ❤️

[@sydneytaylor8128]

You should probably look into their personalities and do research yourself. Mice tend to be a bit more flighty than rats, especially groups of females. I would reccomend one male to start (since females MUST live together and males MUST live alone.) The gender won't 100% guaruntee their personality but since males live alone they tend to want more human interaction as opposed to females who will be happy to socialize within their group rather than with you. (Again, every mouse is different. You can get really antisocial males and super lovey females. But males on average tend to be more social than groups of females.) They're quite small, even more than a roborovski hamster, and are very delicate! Like rats they love to climb but you should focus on floorspace as well as height. A few people will say that 200 square inches is good for mice but most people disagree and reccomend at least 360 square inches. The only time I'd say you really should use a 10 gallon tank is if your mouse is elderly and doesn't use very much space anyway. There's so much more to their care though, and if you're very interested I could reccomend looking at some reputable mouse forums and KZbinrs (I personally reccomend Anna's Animals!)

[@paintedpawprints8126]

Sydney Taylor thanks your really informative ❤️❤️

[@stellabats1939]

😍😍

[@missgee3964]

Hello ma'am , i have one leaf mantis here but i dont know how to feed? Or do they even eat? Hope to have more knowledge bout it. Nice video 💕

[@definitelynotavegan7285]

I know this comment is old but how the hell do you get an animal and not know what it needs to eat????

[@idaequestrian4267]

I am a proud owner of a female Australian walking stick!

i want one of those stick insects )):

nice.

[@Zaphods-Third-Arm]

Do they not mind being alone? I've never thought of what insects like as far as company goes....

[@deescreatures]

I have the most unusual name for my hamster unless you know what the name is from her name is EL from stranger things

[@bethslife1390]

can you specify the name of this set because i cant find it:(

[@audreyh6425]

Cool

[@goddesstyeschanativity7205]

Where is the link for the habitat

[@sunitipoddar15]

Where they are found

[@yaaahoo2126]

Is it legal to keep bugs as pets as they dont need human care and they dont like to socialise with humans like rats hamster dogs and cats so you would just be keeping it for your own entertainment . Im just asking because i dont know much xx

[@Emiology]

Yes it's legal, they still require my care in terms of providing food and cleaning out. It's the same as how many people keep reptiles, they don't desire your attention in the way social animals would but we still keep them

[@sniazy7200]

Shouldn't you hold them in a group?

[@dwaalgeest8591]

They need more air flow. You can’t get enough ventilation in an enclosure like that.

[@Emiology]

If you can find me a well ventilated one that's above 30cm in the UK then I'll buy it because I wasn't able to

[@Rley-ti1lq]

@@Emiology Just buy a terrarium, they may cost a bit more but they're more practical and overal better for the life quality of your insects.

[@ended_ellipsis]

@@Emiology a faunarium would work if youre planning on getting another

[@ForHisGlory-di3br]

What Was that type of Stick bug

[@moonlightanimations6862]

Phyllium monteithi, got some of my own

[@aalexttostado]

is a 20 gallon okay for one of them ?

[@murphdawgswizzle]

a 20 gallon tall would be great! as long as the mesh is suuuuper fine on the top.

[@evilduolingoowl]

Can i put fake plants or should i just put real ones?

[@Emiology]

You want to make sure the majority of the plants in there are the ones they're going to eat (eg. Bramble) if you had a huge enclosure you could potentially put fake plants in there for them to climb on along with it though ☺️

[@hugoismycat5030]

Do they ned watter ?!?

[@Emiology]

They get water from the droplets when you spray their enclosure every day

[@ItzJustRubyMSP]

Emiology WHERE DID YOU GET ITTT

[@Reaper-kn3cx]

So can vegan people eat this?

[@kattiestoneman1059]

The insect?

[@zombiezonurlawn]

well, lets talk about that. hey vsauce! Micheal here, Can vegans eat leafbugs? Though the leafbugs looks uncannily like a leaf, it is living and has protein. But you know what? Screw it. These things are probably tasty asf

[@kindofjoke3934]

The tank is too small and you need to keep them in groups of at least 5...

[@sunitipoddar15]

Where they are four

[@blanchybaby]

Can she fly?

[@Emiology]

Nope! Only the males can fly ☺️

[@ratteratte2681]

Do you think you'll ever hatch her eggs?

[@Andrea-if4lp]

Why so small?

[@Emiology]

?

[@Andrea-if4lp]

The cage, don't they move around? Or are they just sitting still?

[@murphdawgswizzle]

Andrea the cage is quite a good size, it’s honestly not small at all. she has plenty of room to walk around.
