This is a really stupid question but is it warm in the arena? I’ve never been to a gig before so I have no idea what it’s like lol

Has anyone got some good substrate recommendations apart from kitchen paper? Like a more natural look

So my friend has loads of baby Indian stick insects and I am taking three of them so naturally I have a few questions if anyone could help me out!

1. What size enclosure? Apparently they can grow up to 10cm in length and I am aware that they at least need double their size in height for moulting, would 30 x 15 x 15 be enough for all three?
2. What sort of things can you add to their enclosure apart from the substrate (kitchen/paper towel I think we’ll use) and their food? I’d like to add things to make it look more natural but I’m scared of setting it up wrong or potentially causing them harm.
3. I know your hands need to be clean before handling them but somewhere I read said your hands need to be free of chemicals such as soap. So does this mean you just rinse your hands with water? Similarly with cleaning, just clean it with water or add soap?

If anyone could give me some guidance it would be greatly appreciated!
