Do stick insects eat their babies?

This was a request leading here today…

Gee! And I know the answer: stick insects (or walking sticks for that matter, depending on which place you are) can have cannibalistic behaviours whenever you don’t give them enough or regularly fresh plants to eat. Which happens if you let the demography running high in your rearings. So just keep a bunch of juveniles to avoid starvation, and give them enough food that you renew at least on a weekly basis (half a week is best of course)…
