What we really need is a few people to come round, clear Jonathan's room out and take the floor boards up. It's physically beyond me and Liz. we can hear the poor things trapped in there

Do you know the route he got in? Is there something you could dangle down to let him climb up?

No, no idea. We don't even know for sure how he got out the living room.

No, no idea. We don't even know for sure how he got out the living room. Have you tried setting up a bucket trap? I know I keep going on about it, but as an ex-hamster owner, it does work! Here's a decent video on it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkB7nUtQoKM |

Liz got a humane mouse trap today, one that just catches them, and set it in Jonathan's room. The problem is we think he can't get out to get to it.

They are nocturnal, maybe he just doesn't want to come out yet. Sorry, I just scrolled up to see you'd removed a floorboard. Maybe put some smelly food near that hole with something for him to climb up? |

That's where the trap is with a big dollop of jam in it to entice him out!

If I wasn't several hundres miles away I would come to lift up the floorboards! Can anyone from the church help?

Not yet. Not heard him for a few days either. A new escape hole has been opened up.
Fearing the worst :-(

Mrs M reports a massacre of the stick insects.
Only one survivor of the latest batch and Joy is attempting to revive the full grown ones from the previous generation as we speak. Hard to tell with them though as they are experts at playing dead.
Suspect the cold snap last week did them all in a bit as well as a bit of neglect during my illness a couple weeks back. It could also have been that accursed llama's fault again.
Fortunately there seems to be some fresh viable eggs to be harvested to hatch a new batch.

I have been fooled by stick insects.
For weeks I thought there were just two adults in the big tank: Mr Big and Little Miss but it turns out there's been a third one in there the whole time!!!! Wee Joe has been hiding in plain sight the whole time!!!
There was some despair last night when I thought Mr Big had expired as he had been on the floor with his legs in the air for a while but later he was zooming about. I am sure he was laughing at me.
Meanwhile, Big Brenda has hatched.

Stick insects are fast moving nimble bastards when they want to be. Most of the time they just sit there pretending to be a twig or pretending to be dead. They you try to clean out their house and give them fresh leaves and they're off like a shot, leaping about all over the place.
One has escaped.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Did you abduct these stick insects from your previous abode?
