I think you are totally within your rights to say no.

 

Tell them you have a phobia.

 

 

[teabag]

yeah definitely refuse to do it

 

alternatively, you could set fire to them

[Lisa]

Jo, you have to tell the parents as Power-slough say's, you have a phobia & really can not bear to fed them, they wil have to do it

[Alex]

Break the phobia. Feed them.

Isn't feeding a stick insect just a case of dropping a leaf or two in a tank?

 

It might not be though, I'm not expert on sticks or insects

[Alex]

I believe (could be wrong) that stick insects can't kill or harm people (pretty much the same goes for nearly all insects in the world).

[Bungle]

Nope.

 

I've just made a bacon, steak, onion and mushroom pie ready for my dinner.

 

Thats what I eat

[Guest Kether]

Pretend they're sticks and not insects at all.

I would, but they're like guinness. They don't travel well.

 

Pepsis experienced one of my pies. It was before we were going out so I put a puff pastry tidy logo on it. Sad...... but ace!
