Are walking sticks good as a staple or should they only be used as treats?

I know that they're a good variety mix. Gut loading isn't as easy as crix/roaches, but can still be accomplished.

Lol quit worrying so much man 
you have had them this long and they are still alive so to me that tells me they are eatting . All mine love rose leaves and my huge group only eats very little sometimes I can't even tell they have eattin anything but if I look close at the leaves the edges are chewed away

Lol! You're right, man, I'm worrying way too much! Considering that I <cough> "found" <cough> these things in my backyard for free
, I sure have spent a lot of $$ in plants for them! $20 for the rose bush (that's dead already ) and $16 for the two blackberry bushes I picked up today...

What?? I'm confused? They eat the leaves, right? Isn't bramble a thorny type plant/bush?

Yeah lol. I should have said this roses live threw winter with leaves still good to eat other brambles like blackberry and raspberrie plants leaves die off in the winter so if you only had those you would have no stick bug food
. but if you had a rose bush going then no worries

Lol! Thx! I wonder if they'll eat the leaves from knockout roses? I can steal some from the wife's rose bush. Shhhh!

hang the leaves (or better yet use whole branches of bramble) from the top. They dont like to be on the floor.

No can do!
You have to go and "find" some in your backyard. I'm sure someone will pm you on where to "locate" them in your yard...

both blackberry and raspberry continue to be green where I live, even in winter. Especially blackberry.
