Much the same you would care for them as an adult. Nymph stick insects are just like smaller versions of the adults; they eat the same leaves (although for very tiny hatching's it is advisable to trim the edge off the leaves so it is easier for the stick insects to eat), and live in the same environment as the adults. Be sure to spray the enclosure the nymphs are in extra lightly as very small nymphs and hatching's can easily drown in water droplets.

Mastervenusflytrap: I recommend putting them in a plastic container with holes on the top, also give them the new eucalyptus shoots only they wont eat the big leaves they are to hard to eat.

Also if you put the nymph's in with the adults it is a bad idea because the adults will crush them if the nymph's climb over the adults.
