Gosh, is it still legal to purchase stick insects? I thought they could no longer be imported (like tortoises). I remember when they were really popular. Poir little souls- I don't think people generally looked after them very well.
In a previous life, my partner kept stick insects. I looked up the RSPCA page on stick insects, and it gives basic advice on keeping them, but doesn't mention it's illegal to buy them. I would guess this means that it is legal.
